ldapwhoami implements the LDAP "Who Am I?" extended operation.
ldapwhoami opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and performs a whoami operation.
−V[V] |
Print version info. If −VV is given, only the version information is printed. |
−d debuglevel
Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldapwhoami must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect.
−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. | ||
−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.
−e [!]ext[=extparam]
−E [!]ext[=extparam]
Specify general extensions with −e and whoami 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)
WhoAmI
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 option that can be passed here, check ldap.conf(5) for details.
−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. |
