Red Hat DIRECTORY SERVER 8.1 Command Reference Manual page 255

Option
-l
-p
-s
-w
Description
Specifies the maximum number of seconds
to wait for a search request to complete. For
example:
-l 300
Regardless of the value specified here,
ldapsearch will never wait longer than is
allowed by the server's nsslapd-timelimit
attribute, unless the authenticated user is
the Directory Manager. The default value for
the nsslapd-timelimit attribute is 3600
Section 2.3.1.106, "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.
