How to find whether ldap server is up and running?

I have currently installed OID (Oracle Internet Directory) and created some roles and users in them. I intend to access them using LDAP commands.

$ldapbind -p <port_number> -h <ip> -D "cn=orcladmin"
bind sucessful
$ ldapsearch -h <port_numbe开发者_Go百科r>  -p <ip> "dc=<name>"
ldap_search: Inappropriate authentication
ldap_search: additional info: Server is Configured to Deny Anonymous Binds

Is there something I am missing ?

On your ldapsearch command, add the -D "cn=orcladmin" for who you are binding as, -w "Password" or -W to prompt at run time. Probably you want a -b "ou=Base,dc=DNtoSearch" and then your filter as you have it.

You need to bind each time.
