## DESCRIPTION

`"sympa test ldap"` tests LDAP connection and search operation using LDAP driver of Sympa.

## SEE ALSO

Sympa::DatabaseDriver::LDAP.

## HISTORY

testldap.pl appeared before Sympa 3.0.

It supported LDAP over TLS (ldaps) on Sympa 5.3a.1.

testldap.pl was renamed to sympa\_test\_ldap.pl on Sympa 6.2.

`"--use_ssl"` and `"--use_start_tls"` options were obsoleted by Sympa 6.2.15. `"--use_tls"` option would be used instead.

This function was moved to `"sympa test ldap"` command line on Sympa 6.2.71b.
