SYNOPSIS
ldapwhoami [ -n] [ -v] [ -z] [ -d debuglevel] [ -D binddn] [ -W] [ -w passwd] [ -y passwdfile] [ -H ldapuri] [ -h ldaphost] [ -p ldapport] [ -e [!]ext[=extparam]] [ -E [!]ext[=extparam]] [ -O security-properties] [ -I] [ -Q] [ -U authcid] [ -R realm] [ -x] [ -X authzid] [ -Y mech] [ -Z[Z]]
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 dont actually perform the whoami operation. Useful for debugging in conjunction with -v. |
-v | Run in verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard output. |
-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. |
-D binddn | Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the LDAP directory. For SASL binds, the server is expected to ignore this value. |
-W | Prompt for simple authentication. This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line. |
-w passwd | Use passwd as the password for simple authentication. |
-y passwdfile | |
Use complete contents of passwdfile as the password for simple authentication. | |
-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. | |
-O security-properties | |
Specify SASL security properties. | |
-e [!]ext[=extparam]
-E [!]ext[=extparam] | |
Specify general extensions with -e and search extensions with -E. '!' indicates criticality. General extensions: [!]assert=<filter> (an RFC 4515 Filter) [!]authzid=<authzid> ("dn:<dn>" or "u:<user>") [!]manageDSAit [!]noop ppolicy [!]postread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list) [!]preread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list) abandon, cancel (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel; not really controls) Search extensions: [!]domainScope (domain scope) [!]mv=<filter> (matched values filter) [!]pr=<size>[/prompt|noprompt] (paged results/prompt) [!]sss=[-]<attr[:OID]>[/[-]<attr[:OID]>...] (server side sorting) [!]subentries[=true|false] (subentries) [!]sync=ro[/<cookie>] (LDAP Sync refreshOnly) rp[/<cookie>][/<slimit>] (LDAP Sync refreshAndPersist) | |
-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. |
