Please feel free to use these tools as you like, if you do Saving administrators around the world time andĪll joeware utilities have a very simple warranty which you can If you are interested, I wrote a guide on LDAP search filters.The joeware utilities. Each attribute should be separated with a space. If you want to find everyone that is a member of the group cn=storage,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com, you would use "(memberOf=cn=storage,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com)" For example, if you are looking for an AD user with the user name bob, you would use the filter "(sAMAccountName=bob)". The simplest filter is looking for an attribute with a particular value. The LDAP search filter used to find entries.
If you don't know what OU it is in, it is ok to just use your domain. For example, if you know you want to look in an OU called stuff, your base will look like this: "ou=stuff,dc=example,dc=com". If you know what OU the entries you are searching for are in, you can add it to your base. Where in the directory to start your search. When querying AD, this will be your AD user name your domain. The DN of the user you are authenticating with. Use simple authentication instead of SASL.
The URI of the directory server you are querying. b "dc=example,dc=com" "(filter)" "attr1" "attr2" Option If you opted to not use an encrypted connection, use ldap:// instead of ldaps:// ldapsearch -H ldaps://dc. -x -W -D \ Use the following example, replacing the highlighted values to perform the search. In the event your network is compromised, this will prevent the attacker from stealing your credentials with a man in the middle attack. Replace /pki/cacerts.pem with the location you put the AD CA cert if you decided to put it somewhere else. Here is where to find it on various operating systems: OS ZFRydXN0IEV4dGVybmFsIFRUUCBOZXR3b3JrMSIwIAYDVQQDExlBZGRUcnVzdCBF MQswCQYDVQQGEwJTRTEUMBIGA1UEChMLQWRkVHJ1c3QgQUIxJjAkBgNVBAsTHUFk MIIFdDCCBFygAwIBAgIQJ2buVutJ846r13Ci/ITeIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQwFADBv The certificate text will look something like this: -BEGIN CERTIFICATE. openssl s_client -connect :636 -showcerts < /dev/nullĬopy and paste the certificate text from the bottom certificate into a file.

The following example demonstrates how to do this. If this isn’t possible and if you are reasonably sure your network connection isn’t compromised, you can use openssl to retrieve the server certificate from the server. Ask your AD administrator to provide this for you in PEM format. If possible, you must obtain the certificate authority (CA) certificate used to sign the AD server certificate. If you are ok with an unencrypted connection, skip to the next section. If you want or need a more in depth guide, keep reading. b "dc=example,dc=com" "(sAMAccountName=user)" b "dc=example,dc=com" "(sAMAccountName=user)" Without TLS ldapsearch -H ldap://dc. -x -W -D \ Quick Example Using TLS ldapsearch -H ldaps://dc. -x -W -D \ There may be times when you want or need to search Active Directory with ldapsearch. It is fairly common to have Linux or UNIX machines on a network with a Microsoft Active Directory (AD) domain.
