   basedn = 'dc=example,dc=com'
   binddn = 'bjensen@example.com'
   bindpw = 'secret'
   query = '(cn=Babs*)'
   c = ldapconnector.LDAPClientCreator(reactor, ldapclient.LDAPClient)
   overrides = {basedn: (serverip, 389)}
   client = yield c.connect(basedn, overrides=overrides)
   yield client.bind(binddn, bindpw)
   o = ldapsyntax.LDAPEntry(client, basedn)
   results = yield o.search(filterText=query)
   for entry in results:
      print entry
