uid=foo,ou=bar,dc=acme,dc=com
or search filters:
(uid=foo)
Note the use of parenthesis, which can be omitted from search filters usually but are required here. For this searching bind to work, your client library must be configured with appropriate default search parameters.

[2] Repeat the search for each naming context found and present the

concatenation of all search results.
Conflicts with --base.
With --config, show a BASE configuration line for each context.

A special (offline) option is --diff, which compares two files and writes any changes to standard output in LDIF format.

Report bugs to "ldapvi@lists.askja.de".

Assuming a suitably configured LDAP library, run ldapvi without arguments to see all entries available.

Otherwise, try `ldapvi -h HOSTNAME --discover' to query the ROOT DSE for available naming contexts.

Once that works, run `ldapvi -h HOSTNAME --discover --config' to generate sample configuration that can be pasted into ~/.ldaprc or /etc/ldap/ldap.conf.

ldapvi uses an LDIF-like syntax, but not standard LDIF. Please refer to http://www.lichteblau.com/ldapvi/manual.xml#syntax

Please report bugs to <ldapvi@lists.askja.de>.
