You need to specify a search filter.  e.g.

ldapsearch -x -b dc=mml,dc=uni-freiburg,dc=de "(cn=*)" cn sn

This should return the cn and sn attribute of all the entries with a
"cn" attribute.  Note that the default search base can be specified
globally in the /etc/ldap/ldap.conf file.  It is the BASE parameter.
You can also specify a default URI.  Usually, URI=ldap:///localhost
works.

Do an Internet search on "ldap filters" to understand the syntax.
