Answer 1

The openldap-clients package has ldapsearch which may do what you want. From the man page:

LDAPSEARCH(1) General Commands Manual LDAPSEARCH(1)

NAME ldapsearch - LDAP search tool

SYNOPSIS ldapsearch [-V[V]] [-d debuglevel] [-n] [-v] [-c] [-u] [-t[t]] [-T path] [-F prefix] [-A] [-L[L[L]]] [-S attribute] [-b searchbase] [-s {base|one|sub|children}] [-a {never|always|search|find}] [-l time‐ limit] [-z sizelimit] [-f file] [-M[M]] [-x] [-D binddn] [-W] [-w passwd] [-y passwdfile] [-H ldapuri] [-h ldaphost] [-p ldapport] [-P {2|3}] [-e [!]ext[=extparam]] [-E [!]ext[=extparam]] [-o opt[=optparam]] [-O security-properties] [-I] [-Q] [-N] [-U authcid] [-R realm] [-X authzid] [-Y mech] [-Z[Z]] filter [attrs...]

DESCRIPTION ldapsearch is a shell-accessible interface to the ldap_search_ext(3) library call.

   ldapsearch opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and performs a search using specified parameters.
   The filter should conform to the string representation for search filters as defined in RFC 4515.  If not
   provided, the default filter, (objectClass=*), is used.

   If ldapsearch finds one or more entries, the attributes specified by attrs are returned.  If * is listed,
   all  user attributes are returned.  If + is listed, all operational attributes are returned.  If no attrs
   are listed, all user attributes are returned.  If only 1.1 is listed, no attributes will be returned.

   The search results are displayed using an extended version of LDIF.  Option -L controls the format of the
   output.
