Can ldapsearch work with Windows AD via GSSAPI? Is there any special setting/ software I need to do on the client side?
GSSAPI is normally a carrier for Kerberos tickets, so for this to work you will need to obtain a valid ticket for the AD service. This will involve connecting your client system to the Kerberos domain managed by the AD system.
On my Client system, I have Windows openldap client tools (ldapsearch ....etc). My Server system has Windows AD running.
I was able to use Simple Authentication and it worked. ldapsearch.exe -H ldap://MPSD-EB01T3/ -b "dc=test,dc=com" -x
Without the -D and -w (or -W) options, this is just anonymous (un-authenticated) access.
You can certainly use the OpenLDAP client tools with AD using simple authentication. The main problem is to find out what the DN of your AD account actually is.
