🌸 NAME 🌸

no cap, that's literally the job. it goes and finds them. for you. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

debian-edu-ldap-server [-dfrk] [-b [-s <servername>]]

look at those cute little flags stacked up. precious. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Find LDAP server and ldap base. that's the mission, that's the assignment, that's the whole main character arc. 👑

so here's the tea: by default, the LDAP server is located using SRV records. yep, DNS doing its little magic trick. and if -b is used, the LDAP base gets printed instead. if -b is not used, then the LDAP server is used instead. one or the other, pick your fighter. 💅

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

these are the options that can appear on the command line, bestie — every single one of them, no skipping, we don't do that here:

• -d — enable debug output. she's chatty, she's telling you everything, respect it. 🗣️
• -f — provide fallback values if dynamic detection fails. the safety net, the backup plan, the if this doesn't work we still got you energy. 🫶
• -r — print Kerberos realm name. ⭐
• -k — print Kerberos server name. ✨
• -b — print LDAP base. 🌸
• -s <servername> — use this server when finding LDAP base. you're telling her which server to consult, okay? very hands-on of you. 💜
