-z
Description
the Directory Manager. The default value for
the nsslapd-timelimit attribute is 3600
Section 2.3.1.95, "nsslapd-
seconds. See
timelimit (Time Limit)"
for more information.
Specifies the TCP port number that the Directory
Server uses. For example:
-p 1049
The default is 389. If -Z is used, the default is
636.
Specifies the scope of the search. The scope can
be one of the following:
• base searches only the entry specified in the
-b option or defined by the LDAP_BASEDN
environment variable.
• one searches only the immediate children
of the entry specified in the -b option. Only
the children are searched; the actual entry
specified in the -b option is not searched.
• sub searches the entry specified in the -
b option and all of its descendants. That is,
perform a subtree search starting at the point
identified in the -b option. This is the default.
Specifies the password associated with the
distinguished name that is specified in the -D
option. For example:
-w diner892
If this option is not specified, anonymous access
is used.
If a dash (-) is used as the password value,
the utility prompts for the password after the
command is entered. This avoids having the
password on the command line.
Specifies that the search results are sorted on
the server rather than on the client. This is useful
to sort according to a matching rule, as with an
international search. In general, it is faster to sort
on the server rather than on the client.
Specifies the maximum number of entries to
return in response to a search request. For
example:
ldapsearch
