Hi.. Trying to run a simple ldap search/query against a supposedly public ldap server. I've tried a number of copy/paste attempts that I've seen from various sites with no luck... If anyone has successfully pinged/queried a public ldap server from the cmdline, can you post your cmd that you used so I can see what I'm missing.. the site www.emailman.com/ldap/public lists a number of public ldap servers. i'm simply trying to figure out how to query/access the names from one of the ldap servers. as an example, i tried to use: ldapsearch -x -h ldap.bu.edu -b "dc=bu,dc=edu" "(sn=tom*)" (but this generates a ldap_bind: protocol error... however, if i do: ldapsearch -x -h stanford.edu -b "dc=stanford,dc=edu" "(sn=tom*)" or ldapsearch -x -h usc.edu -b "dc=usc,dc=edu" "(sn=tom*)" then i get back a list of data... also, the bu.edu for boston university, works on the website... so, i'm sure i'm missing something simple, but i can't pin it down. any help/pointers would be 'ppreciated! my goal is to be able to understand how to query a public ldap server and to be able to return different data elements.. (ie, name, given, first, or email/phone/etc..)
