You can retrieve information about LDAP naming services by using the ldaplist utility. This LDAP utility lists the naming information from the LDAP servers in LDIF format. It can be useful for troubleshooting. See ldaplist(1) for further information.
ldaplist displays its output with a blank line separating records, which is helpful for big multiline records.
Note - The output of ldaplist depends upon the client configuration. For example, if the value of ns_ldap_search is sub rather than one, ldaplist lists all the entries under the current search baseDN.
The following is an example of ldaplist output.
# ldaplist dn: ou=people,dc=west,dc=example,dc=com dn: ou=group,dc=west,dc=example,dc=com dn: ou=rpc,dc=west,dc=example,dc=com dn: ou=protocols,dc=west,dc=example,dc=com dn: ou=networks,dc=west,dc=example,dc=com dn: ou=netgroup,dc=west,dc=example,dc=com dn: ou=aliases,dc=west,dc=example,dc=com dn: ou=hosts,dc=west,dc=example,dc=com dn: ou=services,dc=west,dc=example,dc=com dn: ou=ethers,dc=west,dc=example,dc=com dn: ou=profile,dc=west,dc=example,dc=com dn: automountmap=auto_home,dc=west,dc=example,dc=com dn: automountmap=auto_direct,dc=west,dc=example,dc=com dn: automountmap=auto_master,dc=west,dc=example,dc=com dn: automountmap=auto_shared,dc=west,dc=example,dc=com
To list specific information such as a user's passwd entry, use getent as follows:
# getent passwd user1 user1::30641:10:Joe Q. User:/home/user1:/bin/csh
If you want to list all attributes, use ldaplist with the -l option.
# ldaplist -l passwd user1dn: uid=user1,ou=People,dc=west,dc=example,dc=com
uid: user1
cn: user1
uidNumber: 30641
gidNumber: 10
gecos: Joe Q. User
homeDirectory: /home/user1
loginShell: /bin/csh
objectClass: top
objectClass: shadowAccount
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
shadowLastChange: 6445
