[Bug 582812] [NEW] ldapsearch -y option does not work

Wed May 19 13:29:23 BST 2010

Public bug reported:

sudo ldapsearch -y /etc/ldap.secrets  -D <mybinddn> -b <search base> -xH
"ldap://localhost"

 does not work, as I get this error:
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

yet, if I run:

sudo ldapsearch -w $(sudo cat /etc/ldap.secrets)  -D <mybinddn> -b
<search base> -xH "ldap://localhost"

it works. So that rules out the possibility that /etc/ldap.secrets has a
wrong password.
