Testing Glim with OpenLDAP

In order to test if Glim can speak some LDAP, I've used the following tests that may help you when evaluating Glim and checking if it is working fine.

Note: You must specify the location for your CA certificate so OpenLDAP can verify Glim server's certificate and the TLS handshake can run smoothly. You can use the LDAPTLS_CACERT environment variable.

Who am I?

$ LDAPTLS_CACERT=/tmp/ca.pem ldapwhoami -x -D "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=org" -W -H ldaps://127.0.0.1:1636
Enter LDAP Password: (type the admin password and press Enter)
dn:cn=admin,dc=example,dc=org (cool this is who I am)

Get all users inside ou=Users

$ LDAPTLS_CACERT=/tmp/ca.pem ldapsearch -x -D "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=org" -W -b "ou=Users,dc=example,dc=org" -H ldaps://127.0.0.1:1636
Enter LDAP Password: (type the admin password and press Enter)
