There is another important consideration with the Directory Server tools. The LDAP tools referenced in this guide are Mozilla LDAP, installed with Directory Server in the /usr/dir/mozldap directory on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (directories for other platforms are listed in Chapter 1, General Red Hat Directory Server Usage).

However, Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems also include LDAP tools from OpenLDAP in the /usr/bin directory. It is possible to use the OpenLDAP commands as shown in the examples, but you must use the -x argument to disable SASL, which OpenLDAP tools use by default.
