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.
|
−V[V] |
Print version info. If −VV is given, only the version information is printed. |
−d debuglevel
Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldappasswd must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect.
|
−n |
Do not set password. (Can be useful when used in conjunction with −v or −d) | ||
|
−v |
Increase the verbosity of output. Can be specified multiple times. | ||
|
−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.
|
−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.
|
−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 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.
−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.
−e [!]ext[=extparam]
−E [!]ext[=extparam]
Specify general extensions with −e and passwd modify extensions with −E. ´!´ indicates criticality.
General
extensions:
[!]assert=<filter> (an RFC 4515 Filter)
!authzid=<authzid> ("dn:<dn>" or
"u:<user>")
[!]bauthzid (RFC 3829 authzid control)
[!]chaining[=<resolve>[/<cont>]]
[!]manageDSAit
[!]noop
ppolicy
[!]postread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute
list)
[!]preread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute
list)
[!]relax
sessiontracking[=<username>]
abandon,cancel,ignore (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel,
or ignores response; if critical, doesn’t wait for
SIGINT.
not really controls)
Passwd Modify
extensions:
(none)
−o opt[=optparam]]
Specify any
ldap.conf(5) option or one of the following:
nettimeout=<timeout> (in seconds, or "none"
or "max")
ldif_wrap=<width> (in columns, or "no" for
no wrapping)
−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. | ||
|
−N |
Do not use reverse DNS to canonicalize SASL host name. |
−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 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 |
