ldap search problem
I am posting in this section because in this regard I am a Dummy. I know very little about ldap.
We have a couple of ldap registries running on an AIX box. I can connect into those registries using an openldap browser.
But I am trying to run some queries against the registry on the server itself, using ldapsearch.
Whenever I try to run any command from ldapsearch I get this:
ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)
What argument do I give the ldapsearch command to get it to attach to the ldapserver correctly ? I guess it's not in the environment.
Thanks,
floyd

URI::ldap(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation URI::ldap(3)
NAME
URI::ldap - LDAP Uniform Resource Locators
SYNOPSIS
use URI;
$uri = URI->new("ldap:$uri_string");
$dn = $uri->dn;
$filter = $uri->filter;
@attr = $uri->attributes;
$scope = $uri->scope;
%extn = $uri->extensions;
$uri = URI->new("ldap:"); # start empty
$uri->host("ldap.itd.umich.edu");
$uri->dn("o=University of Michigan,c=US");
$uri->attributes(qw(postalAddress));
$uri->scope('sub');
$uri->filter('(cn=Babs Jensen)');
print $uri->as_string,"
";
DESCRIPTION
"URI::ldap" provides an interface to parse an LDAP URI in its constituent parts and also build a URI as described in RFC 2255.
METHODS
"URI::ldap" support all the generic and server methods defined by URI, plus the following.
Each of the following methods can be used to set or get the value in the URI. The values are passed in unescaped form. None of these will
return undefined values, but elements without a default can be empty. If arguments are given then a new value will be set for the given
part of the URI.
$uri->dn( [$new_dn] )
Set or get the Distinguised Name part of the URI. The DN identifies the base object of the LDAP search.
$uri->attributes( [@new_attrs] )
Set or get the list of attribute names which will be returned by the search.
$uri->scope( [$new_scope] )
Set or get the scope that the search will use. The value can be one of "base", "one" or "sub". If none is given in the URI then the
return value will default to "base".
$uri->_scope( [$new_scope] )
Same as scope(), but does not default to anything.
$uri->filter( [$new_filter] )
Set or get the filter that the search will use. If none is given in the URI then the return value will default to "(objectClass=*)".
$uri->_filter( [$new_filter] )
Same as filter(), but does not default to anything.
$uri->extensions( [$etype => $evalue,...] )
Set or get the extensions used for the search. The list passed should be in the form etype1 => evalue1, etype2 => evalue2,... This is
also the form of list that will be returned.
