Looking at the test source code of 2.4.39 for the ppolicy script, I can see the ldapsearch is using a '-e ppolicy' option. The man page for ldapsearch lists 'general extensions' under -e and -E options. But I cannot figure out what these extensions are.
What is '-e ppolicy' ? and when do you need it?
man ldapsearch(5)
-e = general extended operation -E = search extended operation passwordPolicy is a general extended operation
I have no man page like this for OpenLDAP. Which man page is this? It sounds strange to say something about extended operations.
-e and -E are for specifying extended *controls* along with the LDAP (search) request:
Excerpt from ldapsearch(1):
-e [!]ext[=extparam]
-E [!]ext[=extparam]
Specify general extensions with -e and search extensions with -E. ´!´ indicates criticality.
