ldapsearch
245
Option Description
-Q
Specifies the token and certificate name, which is
separated by a semi-colon (:) for PKCS11.
-W
Specifies the password for the private key
database identified in the
-P
option. For
example:
-W secret
If a dash (-) is used as the password value,
the utility prompts for the password after the
command is entered. This avoids having the
password on the command line.
-W -
Prompts for the password for the token
database.
-Z
Specifies that SSL is to be used for the search
request.
-ZZ
Specifies the Start TLS request. Use this option
to make a cleartext connection into a secure
one. If the server does not support Start TLS,
the command does not have to be aborted; it will
continue in cleartext.
-ZZZ
Enforces the Start TLS request. The server
must respond that the request was successful.
If the server does not support Start TLS, such
as Start TLS is not enabled or the certificate
information is incorrect, the command is aborted
immediately.
