ldapsearch and authentication question

[gw1500se]

I am trying to configure an ldap application and part of what it needs is the AuthDN. I cannot seem to come up with the correct string. I am testing it using ldapsearch to make things easier for myself. I am using an OD Tiger server. Here is my ldapsearch that cannot authenticate:

ldapsearch -x -D “uid=diradmin,cn=users,dc=mydomain,dc=com” -b “dc=mydomain,dc=com” -W uid=someuser

Since I know the password I’m using for ‘diradmin’ is correct I have to assume there is something wrong with the string ‘uid=diradmin,cn=users,dc=mydomain,dc=com’. Can someone help me firgure this out? TIA.

If you’re just looking something up, I don’t think you actually need the authentication in there at all – i.e.:

ldapsearch -x -b "dc=mydomain,dc=com" uid=someuser
