Examples of LDAP URLs
Appendix C LDAP URLs 537
Example 4:
The following LDAP URL specifies a search for entries that have the surname
Jensen
and are at any level under
dc=example,dc=com
:
ldap://ldap.example.com/dc=example,dc=com??sub?(sn=Jensen)
❍
Because no attributes are specified, the search returns all attributes.
❍
Because the search scope is
sub
, the search encompasses the base entry
dc=example,dc=com
and entries at all levels under the base entry.
Example 5:
The following LDAP URL specifies a search for the object class for all entries one
level under
dc=example,dc=com
:
ldap://ldap.example.com/dc=example,dc=com?objectClass?one
❍
Because the search scope is
one
, the search encompasses all entries one
level under the base entry
dc=example,dc=com
. The search scope does not
include the base entry.
❍
Because no filter is specified,the directory uses the default filter
(
objectclass=*
).
NOTE The syntax for LDAP URLs does not include any means for
specifying credentials or passwords. Search requests initiated
through LDAP URLs are unauthenticated, unless the LDAP client
that supports LDAP URLs provides an authentication mechanism.
For example, Directory Server Gateway supports authentication.
