LDAPURL(1) General Commands Manual LDAPURL(1)

ldapurl - LDAP URL formatting tool

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]

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.

Set a comma-separated list of attribute selectors.
Set the searchbase.

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)
Set the URL filter. No particular check on conformity with RFC 4515 LDAP filters is performed, but the value is hex-escaped as required.
Specify URI to be exploded.
Set the host.
Set the TCP port.
Set the URL scheme. Defaults for other fields, like ldapport, may depend on the value of scheme.
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.

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.

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)

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.
