Re: ldapsearch with -y option

Hello,

 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.

 Any idea?

0x0a being the LF character, I suspect you just have to ensure there is none in your file.

PS: if this could help, I'm using ubuntu 12.04 and I have created the password file with vi (I have also tried creating it with gedit and with echo "..." > <file>)

try 'echo -n "..." > <file>" instead.
