NAME

   ldapurl - LDAP URL formatting tool

SYNOPSIS

   ldapurl      [-a attrs]      [-b searchbase]     [-e [!]ext[=extparam]]
   [-E [!]ext[=extparam]]    [-f filter]    [-H ldapuri]     [-h ldaphost]
   [-p ldapport] [-s {base|one|sub|children}] [-S scheme]

DESCRIPTION

   ldapurl  is  a  command that allows to either compose or decompose LDAP
   URIs.

   When invoked with the -H option, ldapurl extracts the components of the
   ldapuri  option argument, unescaping hex-escaped chars as required.  It
   basically acts as a frontend to the ldap_url_parse(3) call.  Otherwise,
   it  builds  an  LDAP  URI  based  on  the  components  passed  with the
   appropriate options, performing the inverse operation.   Option  -H  is
   incompatible with options -a, -b, -E, -f, -H, -h, -p, -S, and -s.

OPTIONS

   -a attrs
          Set a comma-separated list of attribute selectors.

   -b searchbase
          Set the searchbase.

   -e [!]ext[=extparam]

          Specify   general   extensions   with  -e  !  indicates
          criticality.

          General extensions:
            [!]assert=<filter>    (an RFC 4515 Filter)
            !authzid=<authzid>    ("dn:<dn>" or "u:<user>")
            [!]bauthzid           (RFC 3829 authzid control)
            [!]chaining[=<resolve>[/<cont>]]
            [!]manageDSAit
            [!]noop
            ppolicy
            [!]postread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
            [!]preread[=<attrs>]  (a comma-separated attribute list)
            [!]relax
            sessiontracking
            abandon,cancel,ignore (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel,
            or ignores response; if critical, doesn't wait for SIGINT.
            not really controls)

   -E [!]ext[=extparam]
          Set URL extensions; incompatible with -H.

   -f filter
          Set the URL filter.  No particular  check  on  conformity
          with RFC 4515 LDAP filters is performed, but the value is
          hex-escaped as required.

   -H ldapuri
          Specify URI to be exploded.

   -h ldaphost
          Set the host.

   -p ldapport
          Set the TCP port.

   -S scheme
          Set the URL scheme.   Defaults  for  other  fields,  like
          ldapport, may depend on the value of scheme.

   -s {base|one|sub|children}
          Specify  the  scope of the search to be one of base, one,
          sub, or children to specify  a  base  object,  one-level,
          subtree,  or children search.  The default is sub.  Note:
          children  scope  requires  LDAPv3   subordinate   feature
          extension.

OUTPUT FORMAT

   If  the  -H  option is used, the ldapuri supplied is exploded in
   its components, which are printed to standard output in an LDIF-
   like form.

   Otherwise,  the URI built using the values passed with the other
   options is printed to standard output.

EXAMPLE

   The following command:

       ldapurl -h ldap.example.com -b dc=example,dc=com -s sub -f "(cn=Some One)"

   returns

       ldap://ldap.example.com:389/dc=example,dc=com??sub?(cn=Some%20One)

   The command:

       ldapurl -H ldap://ldap.example.com:389/dc=example,dc=com??sub?(cn=Some%20One)

   returns

       scheme: ldap
       host: ldap.example.com
       port: 389
       dn: dc=example,dc=com
       scope: sub
       filter: (cn=Some One)

DIAGNOSTICS

   Exit status is zero if no errors occur.  Errors result in a non-
   zero  exit  status  and  a  diagnostic  message being written to
   standard error.
