Hide from whom? What is it you are actually trying to do? – Jenny D Aug 28 '17 at 14:36

You can specify which attributes you want to have displayed as the results of a query at the end of your query. For instance if you just want the "mail" and "uid" attributes your command would be
ldapsearch -x -LLL uid=$USER -W mail uid
Alternatively you could just pipe the results through "grep -v dn:"

I just wanna hide the "dn:" part, and it seems like I just can't find a solution huh.. – Muska Aug 28 '17 at 14:29

Write a small wrapper for the ldapsearch command that would use your text manipulator or choice, say, "cut", to alter stdout? Use an alias even? alias ldsuid="ldapsearch ...uid=$USER | cut -d2 -f:" – cachonfinga Sep 13 '17 at 16:43
