You may need to set the search scope to "base" or you won't find anything. $ ldapsearch -x -b '' -s base vendorVersion # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <> with scope base # filter: (objectclass=*) # requesting: vendorVersion # # dn: vendorVersion: Fedora-Directory/1.0.1 B2005.342.165 This is using, just as an example, the ldapsearch command line tool from the openldap-clients RPM. Which LDAP client are you using? Another useful search with a blank base DN is for namingContexts, eg: ldapsearch -x -b '' -s base namingContexts -- Del
