DESCRIPTION
ldappasswd
is a tool to set the password of an LDAP user.
ldappasswd
uses the LDAPv3 Password Modify (RFC 3062) extended operation.
ldappasswd
sets the password of associated with the user [or an optionally
specified
R user ].
If the new
password is not specified on the command line and the user
doesn't enable prompting, the server will be asked to generate
a password for the user.
ldappasswd
is neither designed nor intended to be a replacement for
passwd(1)
and should not be installed as such.
OPTIONS
I -A
Prompt for old password.
This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line.
I -a oldPasswd
Set the old password to oldPasswd.
I -t oldPasswdFile
Set the old password to the contents of oldPasswdFile.
-x
Use simple authentication instead of SASL.
I -D binddn
Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the LDAP directory.
I -d debuglevel
Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel.
ldappasswd
must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect.
I -H ldapuri
Specify URI(s) referring to the ldap server(s); only the protocol/host/port
fields are allowed; a list of URI, separated by whitespace or commas
is expected.
I -h ldaphost
Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running.
Deprecated in favor of -H.
I -p ldapport
Specify an alternate TCP port where the ldap server is listening.
Deprecated in favor of -H.
-n
Do not set password. (Can be useful when used in conjunction with
R -v or
R -d )
I -S
Prompt for new password.
This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line.
I -s newPasswd
Set the new password to newPasswd.
I -T newPasswdFile
Set the new password to the contents of newPasswdFile.
-v
Increase the verbosity of output. Can be specified multiple times.
I -W
Prompt for bind password.
This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line.
I -w passwd
Use passwd as the password to bind with.
I -y passwdfile
Use complete contents of passwdfile as the password for
simple authentication.
I -O security-properties
Specify SASL security properties.
-I
Enable SASL Interactive mode. Always prompt. Default is to prompt
only as needed.
-Q
Enable SASL Quiet mode. Never prompt.
I -U authcid
Specify the authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the ID
depends on the actual SASL mechanism used.
I -R realm
Specify the realm of authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the realm
depends on the actual SASL mechanism used.
I -X authzid
Specify the requested authorization ID for SASL bind.
authzid
must be one of the following formats:
I dn: <distinguished name>
or
I u: <username>.
I -Y mech
Specify the SASL mechanism to be used for authentication. If it's not
specified, the program will choose the best mechanism the server knows.
-Z[Z]
Issue StartTLS (Transport Layer Security) extended operation. If you use
R -ZZ ,
the command will require the operation to be successful
