[hobbit] LDAP Test

[James Wade]

Thanks Henrik,

I tried that and it didn't work. 

I've put several variations
in bb-hosts, but ldap, always comes back green saying
it's O.K., it never seems to actually go try to
do an LDAP test.

Is there a manual process I can use to see if it's
trying to do the ldap test. 

One thing is that I originally compiled the program
without LDAP support enabled, then went back and
re-enabled support and recompiled and installed.
Would perhaps something not get changed in the config
files that should have?

It's as though the bb-hosts entry ignores anything
after the ldap:hostname designation.

On another note, I tried using another port in the
designation: ldap:hostname:3890, another  system
we have uses different port number for ldap. However, this
would not work either. It kept going to port 389 verse
3890, and they don't have an ldap on that port.

Thanks for the help...James

Do read the man-page. LDAP URL's are notoriously complex beasts; you
would need something like

  ldap://systemA:389/ou=my,o=test,st=tx,c=us??sub?(uid=thomsonm)

"sub" is the "scope" of the search and "uid=thomsonm" is the search criteria

used to pick a single record from the directory (the "search filter" in LDAP

lingo). The exact syntax is:

       ldap://hostport/dn[?attrs[?scope[?filter[?exts]]]]
		Check for an LDAP service by performing an LDAP request.
		This tag is in the form of an  LDAP  URI (cf.  RFC  2255).  
		This  type of LDAP test requires that bbtest-net(1) was 
		built with support for LDAP, e.g. via the OpenLDAP library.

		The components of the LDAP URI are: 
		  * hostport is a host name with an optional ":portnumber"
		  * dn is the search base
		  * attrs is a comma separated list of attributes to request
		  * scope is one of these three strings:
		      base one sub (default=base)
		  * filter is filter
		  * exts are recognized set of LDAP and/or API extensions.
