I have ldapsearch on my AIX box - apparently as part of my Oracle installation. I'm trying to use ldapsearch to query ADAM, but all I ever get back is the syntax boilerplate on how to use ldapsearch - so OBVIOUSLY I don't know what I'm doing. I tried: ldapsearch -h myadamserver.mydomain.com -b "cn=lwsn,dc=ourdc" and a few other variations, all with the same Do-Not-Pass-Go results. Anyone out there have some examples of how to get output from ADAM using Oracle's ldapsearch on AIX? TIA, Michael

I've seen references to ldapsearch on this board and elsewhere, and just happen to have this one installed on the server. It appears from multiple posts that folks are using this tool - but none of them have mentioned specifics. If you have other/better suggestions, I'm certainly open.

The one Oracle delivers is essentially the same as the one that comes with Tivoli DS - or the Windows version with ADAM This Link leads to a very good page that explains basic syntax. Searching Google will help fill in the gaps

I found an IBM install of ldapsearch on my machine as well as my Oracle rendition, but I get the same results with it. I will note that when connecting via jexplorer, I must authenticate to my LDAP server with jexplorer's Security box. Assuming then that I need to authenticate with ldapsearch, I've tried the -D and -w options as well - still no joy. Mark - I'm on AIX - not Windows, but thanks for thinkin' of me! Any other ideas or suggestions?
