yes, you're right. i can just take a look at ldap.conf but there's several places to look:

- debian/ubuntu uses /etc/ldap/ldap.conf
- RHEL/CentOS uses /etc/openldap/ldap.conf
- custom compilations can use any path. ex: /usr/local/ldap/ldap.conf
- windows openldap uses... i don't really know :P

so what im trying to do is resolving configured base without knowing anything about the client.

for example, this command gives me the server even if i dont know anything about the conf:

ldapsearch -d1 -x -LLL "(uid=example)" uid 2>&1 | grep ldap_connect_to_host


im just a little bit surprised that i can't find any debuglevel that gives me the BASE
