Re: Ldapsearch utility

Hi,

Sorry for replying too late for this mail.

I tried to see details in the log but there are no entries for the
search. But contrarily, when I try the same search using ldp.exe I am
able to see the search related entries in the log.

Please see below the command I am using, along with the response

C:\iPlanet\Servers\shared\bin>ldapsearch -v -0 -h hst -p 8501 -D
"cn=Director
y manager" -w xxxx -b "o=company,c=us" -s sub -f a.txt
ldapsearch: this program requires an LDAP library that implements
revision
        2005 or greater of the LDAP API; running with revision 2004.
ldapsearch: started Tue Dec 04 15:56:06 2007

ldap_init( hst, 8501 )
filter pattern: %s
returning: ALL
filter is: (ldapsearch: started Tue Oct 23 14:49:11 2007)
ldap_search: Bad search filter

Thanks and Regards
Bhawna
