NAME
ldapurl - LDAP URL formatting tool
SYNOPSIS
ldapurl [\c -a attrs] [\c -b searchbase] [\c -e [ ! ] ext [ =extparam ]] [\c -E [ ! ] ext [ =extparam ]] [\c -f filter] [\c -H ldapuri] [\c -h ldaphost] [\c -p ldapport] [\c -s { base \||\| one \||\| sub \||\| children }] [\c -S scheme]
DESCRIPTION
ldapurl is a command that allows one 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 ] Specify general extensions with -e \'!\' indicates criticality. General extensions:

 [!]assert=<filter> (an RFC 4515 Filter)
 !authzid=<authzid> ("dn:<dn>" or "u:<user>")
 [!]bauthzid (RFC 3829 authzid control)
 [!]chaining[=<resolve>[/<cont>]]
 [!]manageDSAit
 [!]noop
 ppolicy
 [!]postread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
 [!]preread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
 [!]relax
 sessiontracking
 abandon,cancel,ignore (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel,
 or ignores response; if critical, doesn't wait for SIGINT.
 not really controls)

-E [ ! ] ext [ =extparam ] Set URL extensions; incompatible with -H .

-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:

 ldapurl -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:

 ldapurl -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.
