Description Kaushik Banerjee 2011-10-12 13:20:58 UTC 
Description of problem:
ldapsearch man page doesn't specify option to follow referrals.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openldap-clients-2.4.23-20.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. To follow referrals, '-C' option can be used with ldapsearch.

ldapsearch -xv -h <hostname> -b "dc=example,dc=com" -C uid=user1

2. Check if "man ldapsearch" or "ldapsearch -h" lists the '-C' option.

Actual results:
'-C' option is not listed in the manpage of ldapsearch.

Expected results:
'-C' option should be mentioned in the manpage.

patch

I found multiple missing parameters: -C, -o, -N

The changes were reviewed by docs team. I will submit upstream soon.
Comment 7 Jan Vcelak 2012-02-23 14:02:39 UTC 
Upstream considers '-C' as an obsolete and intentionally undocumented option.
