GET /name-services/ldap/{svm.uuid}

Introduced In: 9.6

Retrieves LDAP configuration for an SVM. All parameters for the LDAP configuration are displayed by default.

  • ldap show

  • ldap check -vserver vs0

  • ldap check-ipv6 -vserver vs0

Important notes

  • The status.code, status.dn_message, status.message, and status.state fields have the same status fields that are returned using the "ldap check" CLI command.

  • Refer to the ipv4 or ipv6 objects available in the status field to get specific information about the code, dn_messages, or message and state information for ipv4 or ipv6.
