[Pkg-openldap-devel] Bug#678191: /usr/bin/ldapsearch: Error - Could not parse LDAP URI

[Fabiano Xavier Pires]

Subject: /usr/bin/ldapsearch: Error - Could not parse LDAP URI
Package: ldap-utils
Version: 2.4.23-7.2
File: /usr/bin/ldapsearch
Severity: normal

While trying to debug Apache2 LDAP Auth (Debian 6 ) I found this:
"ldapsearch -H" can't parse ldap URLs that have baseDn info  even the ones
created by ldapurl.

LDAP Host: master.example.org (172.20.100.120).
baseDN: dc=example,dc=org

DNS is OK, ping master.example.org resolves successfully. Asides, the error
shows when use the server IP too.

ldapsearch -x -H "ldap://172.20.100.120/dc=example,dc=org"
Could not parse LDAP URI(s)=ldap://172.20.100.120/dc=example,dc=org (3)

ldapsearch -x -H "ldap://master.example.org/dc=example,dc=org"
Could not parse LDAP URI(s)=ldap://master.example.org/dc=example,dc=org (3)

ldapsearch -x  -b "dc=example,dc=org" -H "ldap://master.example.org/"
(works ok!)

ldapsearch -x -h master.example.org -b "dc=example,dc=org"
(works ok!)

Using ldapurl to create the URI, with the data from previous (working)
command:
ldapurl -h master.example.org -b "dc=example,dc=org"
returns this: ldap://master.example.org:389/dc=example,dc=org

last try: redirect output of ldapurl directly to ldapsearch -H:
ldapsearch -x -H $(ldapurl -h master.example.org -b "dc=example,dc=org")
Could not parse LDAP URI(s)=ldap://master.example.org:389/dc=example,dc=org(3)
(same error)

PS: The error is in other Debian 6 system (no graphic, ssh only). I can
provide
more info if is needed. BTW, apache auth is working, using the very same URL
returned by ldapurl command.
