title: How to find whether ldap server is up and running?
body: <p>I have currently installed OID (Oracle Internet Directory) and created some roles and users in them. I intend to access them using LDAP commands. </p>
  
  <pre><code>$ldapbind -p &lt;port_number&gt; -h &lt;ip&gt; -D "cn=orcladmin"
  bind sucessful
  $ ldapsearch -h &lt;port_number&gt;  -p &lt;ip&gt; "dc=&lt;name&gt;"
  ldap_search: Inappropriate authentication
  ldap_search: additional info: Server is Configured to Deny Anonymous Binds
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there something I am missing ? </p>
