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 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
-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.
-x Use simple authentication instead of SASL.
-D binddn
Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the
LDAP directory.
-d debuglevel
Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldap
passwd 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).
-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
-w passwd
Use passwd as the password to bind with.
-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 proxy authorization ID for SASL bind.
authzid must be one of the following formats:
dn:<distinguishedname> or u:<username>.
-Y mech
Specify the SASL mechanism to be used for authenti
cation. 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, the command will require
the operation to be successful
