ldapcompare

ldapcompare opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and performs a compare using specified parameters. The DN should be a 'Distinguished Name' in the directory. ATTRIBUTE should be a known attribute. If followed by one colon, the assertion value should be provided as a string. If followed by two colons, the base64 encoding of the value is provided. The result code of the compare is provided as the exit code and, unless ran with -z, the program prints TRUE, FALSE, or UNDEFINED on standard output.
