* lsu --config myldapconfigfile.yml --filter '(&(uid=testuser)(mail=*@example.com))'

* How to write a simple shell wrapper that can be work with base64 dn for example

  #
  # Find the Distinguished Name for an UID
  #
  __ldap_find_by_uid() {

    [ -s ${LDAP_CONFIG} ] && [ -n "${1}" ] && lsu --config ${LDAP_CONFIG} --filter "(uid=${1})" --attributes dn
  }
