DESCRIPTION

ldapwhoami implements the LDAP "Who Am I?" extended operation.
ldapwhoami opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and performs a whoami operation.

OPTIONS

-n
Show what would be done, but don't actually perform the whoami operation. Useful for debugging in conjunction with -v.
-v
Run in verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard output.
I -d  debuglevel
Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldapwhoami must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect.
-x
Use simple authentication instead of SASL.
I -D  binddn
Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the LDAP directory.
-W
Prompt for simple authentication. This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line.
I -w  passwd
Use passwd as the password for simple authentication.
I -y  passwdfile
Use complete contents of passwdfile as the password for simple authentication.
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.
I -P  2|3
Specify the LDAP protocol version to use.
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: dn:\c <distinguished name> or u:\c <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 -ZZ\c , the command will require the operation to be successful.
