Full_Name: Chris Paul Version: ldapsearch 2.4.23 (Dec 7 2011 21:37:03) OS: tried both Centos 2.6.32-220.el6.i686 and Cygwin URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/ Submission from: (NULL) (162.119.68.25)
I really like the new -y option to read the password from a file but it doesn't work. Also it broke the old behavior which read it from standard input if you used -W.
I have a one line password file. I used to use this successfully with a command like:
$ ldapsearch -x -H $TIM -s sub -b "dc=myorg, dc=org" "(uid=someuid)" uid cn < ~/.ldappw
Now this command just prompts me for the password.
And when I try -y, it seems that an 0x0a character is added to the password string (I found this by using tcpdump to capture the packets), so that fails with "Invalid credentials (49)".
