ldap - Searching entries using ldapsearch -

i new learning ldap authentication. there 2 commands can use search ldap directory:

first one:

ldapsearch -b "base directoty path" -d "cn=manager,dc=mydomain,dc=com" -w "ldap pwd" 

second one:

ldapsearch -x -b "dn of entry searched" 

the first command requires pwd, whereas second doesn't. happening here?

with:

ldapsearch -b "base directoty path" -d "cn=manager,dc=mydomain,dc=com" -w "ldap pwd"

you requesting server prompt password "-w". not prompt, use "-w".

with

ldapsearch -x -b "dn of entry searched"

you not providing binddn (-d) search in done anonymously. maybe helpful:
