This dn search of dn=cn=name,o=org works from a command line and returns all the attributes of the dn:
ldapsearch -h host -x -b "cn=name,o=org" However, this Net::LDAP does not return anything: $mesg = $ldap->search(base=>"cn=name,o=org"); I have also tried: $mesg = $ldap->search( base =>"cn=name,o=org", scope => 'base' );
