Query an LDAP directory. More information: <https://docs.ldap.com/ldap-sdk/docs/tool-usages/ldapsearch.html>.

  • Query an LDAP server for all items that are a member of the given group and return the object's displayName value:
    ldapsearch -D 'admin_DN' -w 'password' -h ldap_host -b base_ou 'memberOf=group1' displayName
  • Query an LDAP server with a no-newline password file for all items that are a member of the given group and return the object's displayName value:
    ldapsearch -D 'admin_DN' -y 'password_file' -h ldap_host -b base_ou 'memberOf=group1' displayName
  • Return 5 items that match the given filter:
    ldapsearch -D 'admin_DN' -w 'password' -h ldap_host -b base_ou 'memberOf=group1' -z 5 displayName
  • Wait up to 7 seconds for a response:
    ldapsearch -D 'admin_DN' -w 'password' -h ldap_host -b base_ou 'memberOf=group1' -l 7 displayName
  • Invert the filter:
    ldapsearch -D 'admin_DN' -w 'password' -h ldap_host -b base_ou '(!(memberOf=group1))' displayName
  • Return all items that are part of multiple groups, returning the display name for each item:
    ldapsearch -D 'admin_DN' -w 'password' -h ldap_host '(&(memberOf=group1)(memberOf=group2)(memberOf=group3))' "displayName"
  • Return all items that are members of at least 1 of the specified groups:
    ldapsearch -D 'admin_DN' -w 'password' -h ldap_host '(|(memberOf=group1)(memberOf=group1)(memberOf=group3))' displayName
  • Combine multiple boolean logic filters:
    ldapsearch -D 'admin_DN' -w 'password' -h ldap_host '(&(memberOf=group1)(memberOf=group2)(!(memberOf=group3)))' displayName
