Your best bet is to use the ipa-admintools package. This way you don't have to work about the LDAP internals. If you have some need for something the tools can't provide you can always fall back to using ldapsearch.

What is the best way to do a ldapsearch operation on a FreeIPA client? One approach would be to install LDAP utilities on the client and run ldapsearch. Another approach might be to install the ipa-admintools package on the client. Since all I want to do is a simple query (like “ipa user-find” on the ipa-server), I wasn’t sure whether the ipa-admintools made sense. Your best bet is to use the ipa-admintools package.
