$ docker-compose exec openldap bash
>>> ldapwhoami -H ldap://ldap.easypi.duckdns.org -x -ZZ
anonymous
>>> ldapwhoami -H ldaps://ldap.easypi.duckdns.org -x -D cn=admin,dc=ldap,dc=easypi,dc=duckdns,dc=org -w admin
dn:cn=admin,dc=ldap,dc=easypi,dc=duckdns,dc=org
>>> ldapsearch -H ldaps://ldap.easypi.duckdns.org -b dc=ldap,dc=easypi,dc=duckdns,dc=org -D cn=admin,dc=ldap,dc=easypi,dc=duckdns,dc=org -w admin
