SYNOPSIS
ldappasswd [ -A] [ -a oldPasswd] [ -t oldpasswdfile] [ -D binddn] [ -d debuglevel] [ -H ldapuri] [ -h ldaphost] [ -n] [ -p ldapport] [ -S] [ -s newPasswd] [ -T newpasswdfile] [ -v] [ -W] [ -w passwd] [ -y passwdfile] [ -O security-properties] [ -I] [ -Q] [ -U authcid] [ -R realm] [ -x] [ -X authzid] [ -Y mech] [ -Z[Z]] [ user]
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 user]. If the new password is not specified on the command line and the user doesnt 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
-A | Prompt for old password. This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line. |
-a oldPasswd | |
Set the old password to oldPasswd. | |
-t oldPasswdFile | |
Set the old password to the contents of oldPasswdFile. | |
-x | Use simple authentication instead of SASL. |
-D binddn | Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the LDAP directory. For SASL binds, the server is expected to ignore this value. |
-d debuglevel | |
Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldappasswd must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect. | |
-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. | |
-h ldaphost | |
Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running. Deprecated in favor of -H. | |
-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 -v or -d) |
-S | Prompt for new password. This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line. |
-s newPasswd | |
Set the new password to newPasswd. | |
-T newPasswdFile | |
Set the new password to the contents of newPasswdFile. | |
-v | Increase the verbosity of output. Can be specified multiple times. |
-W | Prompt for bind password. This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line. |
-w passwd | Use passwd as the password to bind with. |
-y passwdfile | |
Use complete contents of passwdfile as the password for simple authentication. | |
-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. |
-U authcid | |
Specify the authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the ID depends on the actual SASL mechanism used. | |
-R realm | Specify the realm of authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the realm depends on the actual SASL mechanism used. |
-X authzid | |
Specify the requested authorization ID for SASL bind. authzid must be one of the following formats: dn:<distinguished name> or u:<username>. | |
-Y mech | Specify the SASL mechanism to be used for authentication. If its 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, the command will require the operation to be successful |
