Can i use SASL authentication instead of Simple authentication? I am not able to get the same command with my test LDAP server and I suspect it is because it does not suppot simple authentication.

I would like to know the syntax of the same ldapsearch command with SASL authentication.

Success!

I had to add the base dn flag as follows:

-b “OU=users,DC=testathon,DC=net”

Thank you for the message.

I changed the command to:

# ldapsearch -x -h ldap.testathon.net -D “CN=stuart,OU=users,DC=testathon,DC=net” -w stuart “objectclass=*”

and the output is the same.

Perhaps you need to bind with some credentials, as anonymous binding is not allowed.

I am trying to get some results using the “ldapsearch” utility against your service. It seems to connect but does not get any valid results: The commands I tried are:

# ldapsearch -x -h ldap.testathon.net “objectclass=*”
# ldapsearch -x -h ldap.testathon.net cn

For everything I get:
——–
# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base with scope subtree
# filter: objectclass=*
# requesting: ALL
#

# search result
search: 2
result: 32 No such object

# numResponses: 1
—-

What am I doing wrong?

Hi – I’m not sure sorry. Have you tried using ‘cn’ instead of ‘uid’ in the filter?

Hi Stuart, thanks for keeping the test ldap server up !

One question, for testing an application, it ask for LDAP user filter= …. is it fine to add

LDAP user filter=(uid=%USERNAME%)
Where %USERNAME% is supposed to be the username input-box in the login screen.

Its is for web2project specifically. My Sun Directory 5.2 is not working with this and im testing with your ldap. But at this time is not authenticating either.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Stuart,

Great resource. I’m just learning ldap and it’s fantastic to have a dummy server to test on.

Cheers,
John
