ldapsearch didn't fail, the GSSAPI/Kerberos library did. It was unable to match the provided IP address to the name of a Kerberos server principal. In general, Kerberos requires valid hostnames, it doesn't work well with numeric addresses.
My apology (for the private inquiry) first, Howard.
Can I say that in case of IPv4 address, it is optional that whether we pass hostname to ldapsearch command. And in case of IPv6 address, the hostname is a prerequisite. Even we know in advance the IPv6 address of the server, we can't pass it directly to ldapsearch command?
Thanks, Xu Qiang
