How to get ldapsearch on Scientific Linux?

Solution 1:

Use yum whatprovides to see what package provides a file. The following was run on SL6.x:

$ yum whatprovides */ldapsearch
...
openldap-clients-2.4.23-15.el6.x86_64 : LDAP client utilities
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/bin/ldapsearch

Solution 2:

It's part of the openldap-clients package, so yum install openldap-clients.

The package contents are thus:

$ repoquery -lq openldap-clients
/usr/bin/ldapadd
/usr/bin/ldapcompare
/usr/bin/ldapdelete
/usr/bin/ldapexop
/usr/bin/ldapmodify
/usr/bin/ldapmodrdn
/usr/bin/ldappasswd
/usr/bin/ldapsearch
/usr/bin/ldapurl
/usr/bin/ldapwhoami
