How can I use ldapsearch at HPUX

Sak — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 01:33:10 GMT

When I use ./ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=stooges,dc=com' '(objectclass=*)' command it got the following error.

ldap_search: Can't connect to the LDAP server - Connection refused

How should me do?

Thank you

Shalom,

Most ldap servers requires an admin id and password to do the ldapsearch.

$CMD = "/usr/local/bin/ldapsearch" ;
$DC = "ldap.is.ndr.com" ;
$DN = "CN=username\\, Somerset,OU=users,OU=Jerusalem,DC=is,DC=ndr,DC=com" ;
$PASSWD = "Schobagel123" ;
$ROOT_DOMAIN = "dc=ndr,dc=com" ;
$cmd = "$CMD -x -p $PORT -z 0 -h $DC -D \"$DN\" -w $PASSWD -b \"$ROOT_DOMAIN\" \"$EXPR\" $ATTR" ;

We ran this in perl but the principel is the same.

Shalom,

What I mean is that I think one of two things is happening.

1) Your ldap server is not accepting the connection. Which could mean:
a) Its not listening on the right port and is miconfigured.
b) Perhaps a firewall is blocking access

2) Your ldap server wants authetnication. My code above is an example of how to provide an ldap server with proper authentication when requesting information.
