You use a base in ldapsearch and a filter in your code. Use 'base' in
search() to set the search base.
For Paul's benefit: what's happening here is that LDAP searches *require*
that a search base is specified, a search scope is specified, and so on.
There are no defaults for these parameters in the protocol.
Not quite true. If you don't specify a scope, all LDAP servers I've dealt
with default to sub.
You can see this with a basic script like:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::LDAP;
my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new('serverbits');
$ldap->bind;
my $results=$ldap->search(base=>"", filter=>"(objectClass=*)");
foreach my $entry ($results->entries) {
$entry->dump;
}
$ldap->unbind;
Results in:
Oct 1 14:14:28 zre-ldap004 slapd[18687]: conn=5835 op=1 SRCH base=""
scope=2 deref=2 filter="(objectClass=*)"
But certainly, Net::LDAP won't search unless you specify both a base and a
filter.
