Git-formatted patch
Docs/manpage for -E say:
[!]<oid>[=:<value>|::<b64value>]
But it does not work:
...
$ ldapsearch -Y GSSAPI -O maxssf=1 -E '!1.2.840.113556.1.4.1340::MAYSBAAAAAI='    -o ldif-wrap=no  -H ldap://innomotics.net    "(objectClass=dnsNode1)"
Invalid search extension name: 1.2.840.113556.1.4.1340::MAYSBAAAAAI
It is '=::':
...
$ ldapsearch -Y GSSAPI -O maxssf=1 -E '!1.2.840.113556.1.4.1340=::MAYSBAAAAAI='    -o ldif-wrap=no  -H ldap://innomotics.net    "(objectClass=dnsNode1)"
SASL/GSSAPI authentication started
Attached is a simple patch to fix it.
