Hi!

After reading the manual of slapcat (for 2.5) it recommends using option -H and an URI instead of other obsolete options.

So I tried it, but all I get is a usage message, even with “-v” and  “-d9”.

Like this:

# slapcat -d9 -H 'ldap:///?entryCSN?sub?(objectClass=*)'

usage: slapcat [-v] [-d debuglevel] [-f configfile] [-F configdir] [-o <name>[=<value>]] [-c]

        [-g] [-n databasenumber | -b suffix] [-l ldiffile] [-a filter] [-s subtree] [-H url]

However when I use

# slapcat -H 'ldap://?entryCSN?dc=…,dc=de?sub?(objectClass=*)'

I get output.

The URI should be:

scheme COLON SLASH SLASH [host [COLON port]] [SLASH dn [QUESTION [attributes] [QUESTION [scope] [QUESTION [filter] [QUESTION extensions]]]]]
 

Do I have tomatoes on my eyes? Anyway I think slapcat could provide a better error message.

Even an ltrace did not enlighten me:

# ltrace slapcat -d9 -H 'ldap:///?entryCSN?sub?(objectClass=*)?'
