Re: ldapsearch with -y option

Maybe it's a silly question, but I'm going crazy and I don't found the

solution. I want to use the -y option in a ldapsearch command, so I have write my password in a file (plain text file with the password in plain text), then I run the

ldapsearch -y <mypasswordfile> <other options>

and I get an invalid credential error. I have checked several times that

the password is correct. I have debuged the request with wireshark and I have checked that the only difference in the bind request is that -y option is adding a final 0x0a char to the password.

This is a standard issue when creating the password file with an editor. The solution is to removing the trailing LF.
