NAME
ldapurl - LDAP URL formatting tool
SYNOPSIS
ldapurl [ -a attrs] [ -b searchbase] [ -e [!]ext[=extparam]] [ -E [!]ext[=extparam]] [ -f filter] [ -H ldapuri] [ -h ldaphost] [ -p ldapport] [ -s {base|one|sub|children}] [ -S scheme]
DESCRIPTION
ldapurl is a command that allows to either compose or decompose LDAP URIs.
When invoked with the -H option, ldapurl extracts the components of the ldapuri option argument, unescaping hex-escaped chars as required. It basically acts as a frontend to the ldap_url_parse(3) call. Otherwise, it builds an LDAP URI based on the components passed with the appropriate options, performing the inverse operation. Option -H is incompatible with options -a, -b, -E, -f, -H, -h, -p, -S, and -s.
OPTIONS
-a attrs | Set a comma-separated list of attribute selectors. |
-b searchbase | |
Set the searchbase. | |
-e [!]ext[=extparam]
-E [!]ext[=extparam] | |
Specify general extensions with -e and search extensions with -E. '!' indicates criticality. General extensions: [!]assert=<filter> (an RFC 4515 Filter) [!]authzid=<authzid> ("dn:<dn>" or "u:<user>") [!]manageDSAit [!]noop ppolicy [!]postread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list) [!]preread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list) abandon, cancel (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel; not really controls) Search extensions: [!]domainScope (domain scope) [!]mv=<filter> (matched values filter) [!]pr=<size>[/prompt|noprompt] (paged results/prompt) [!]sss=[-]<attr[:OID]>[/[-]<attr[:OID]>...] (server side sorting) [!]subentries[=true|false] (subentries) [!]sync=ro[/<cookie>] (LDAP Sync refreshOnly) rp[/<cookie>][/<slimit>] (LDAP Sync refreshAndPersist) | |
-f filter | Set the URL filter. No particular check on conformity with RFC 4515 LDAP filters is performed, but the value is hex-escaped as required. |
-H ldapuri | |
Specify URI to be exploded. | |
-h ldaphost | |
Set the host. | |
-p ldapport | |
Set the TCP port. | |
-S scheme | Set the URL scheme. Defaults for other fields, like ldapport, may depend on the value of scheme. |
-s {base|one|sub|children} | |
Specify the scope of the search to be one of
base, one, sub, or
children to specify a base object, one-level, subtree, or children search.
The default is
sub. Note:
children scope requires LDAPv3 subordinate feature extension.

OUTPUT FORMAT
If the -H option is used, the ldapuri supplied is exploded in its components, which are printed to standard output in an LDIF-like form.
Otherwise, the URI built using the values passed with the other options is printed to standard output.
EXAMPLE
The following command:
ldapuri -h ldap.example.com -b dc=example,dc=com -s sub -f "(cn=Some One)"
returns
ldap://ldap.example.com:389/dc=example,dc=com??sub?(cn=Some%20One)
The command:
ldapuri -H ldap://ldap.example.com:389/dc=example,dc=com??sub?(cn=Some%20One)
returns
scheme: ldap host: ldap.example.com port: 389 dn: dc=example,dc=com scope: sub filter: (cn=Some One)
DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is zero if no errors occur. Errors result in a non-zero exit status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.
