Need assistance on using ldapsearch
Never knew of this command ldapsearch, but I would like to use it to lookup a single user and return where their office is.
Is this possible?
I'm totally starting from scratch. I already saw some of the gurus say read the man page, which is pretty greek when you don't know the details of ldap.
Could someone provide just an example to get me started?
This is for solaris/unix.
The other question is, will I even be able to do this as a non-admin, just a regular user? Because one of the examples I entered it generated a bind password error and I assume this is some domain controller password?
So, this is pretty much ldapsearch 101 for me and ldap 101 in general, so I would appreciate any info that might get me started besides a man page.
Thank you very much!

NAME
asadmin-start-instance, start-instance - starts a server instance and all the services associated with it

[--debug=false] [--passwordfile filename] [--secure|-s] instance_name
Use the start-instance command to start an instance with the instance name you specify. The start-instance command can be run both locally
and remotely. To start locally, with a domain name identified, the named instance must already exist within that domain. To start
remotely, the administration server must be running on the hostname and port number specified. The user authenticates using the password
identified for the administration server.
OPTIONS
--user administrative user associated for the instance.
--password administrative password corresponding to the administrative user.
--host host name of the machine hosting the administrative instance.
--port administrative port number associated with the administrative host.
--local determines if the command should delegate the request to administrative instance or run locally.
--domain name of the domain.
--debug starts the instance in debug mode.
--passwordfile file containing passwords appropriate for the command (e.g., administrative instance).
--secure if true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the administrative instance.
OPERANDS
instance_name name of the instance to be started.
Example 1: Using start-instance in local mode
asadmin> start-instance --domain domain1 admin-server
Instance admin-server started
Where: the admin-server instance is started on the local domain1 domain.
Example 2: Using start-instance in remote mode
asadmin> start-instance --user admin --password bluestar --host localhost --port 4848 server1
