What does ldapsearch response mean?
I created a ldap directory with a number of users and groups. When I query this directory from a remote server with:
ldapsearch -H ldap://ldap.myserver.net/ -x -vvvvvvv -b dc=myserver,dc=net -D cn=admin,dc=myserver,dc=net -W
I get all objects in the directory returned. The result finishes with the following:
# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success
# numResponses: 85
# numEntries: 84
What do these numbers mean exactly?
"search: 2" 2 is the messageID of the search operation.
"result: 0 Success" 0 is the error code. Here is a list of the others https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/quebec-platform-administration/page/administer/reference-pages/reference/r_LDAPErrorCodes.html
"numResponses: 85" 85 is the number of pieces of information returned including the meta information.
"numEntries: 84" 84 is the total number of entries that the search returned.
