ldapmodrdn is a shell-accessible interface to the ldap_modrdn2(3) library call.
ldapmodrdn opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and modifies the RDN of entries. The entry information is read from standard input, from file through the use of the −f option, or from the command-line pair dn and rdn.
−r |
Remove old RDN values from the entry. Default is to keep old values. | ||
−n |
Show what would be done, but don’t actually change entries. Useful for debugging in conjunction with -v. | ||
−v |
Use verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard output. | ||
−k |
Use Kerberos IV authentication instead of simple authentication. It is assumed that you already have a valid ticket granting ticket. ldapmodrdn must be compiled with Kerberos support for this option to have effect. | ||
−K |
Same as −k, but only does step 1 of the Kerberos IV bind. This is useful when connecting to a slapd and there is no x500dsa.hostname principal registered with your Kerberos Domain Controller(s). | ||
−c |
Continuous operation mode. Errors are reported, but ldapmodify will continue with modifications. The default is to exit after reporting an error. | ||
−M[M] |
Enable manage DSA IT control. −MM makes control critical. |
−d debuglevel
Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldapmodrdn must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect.
−f file
Read the entry modification information from file instead of from standard input or the command-line.
−x |
Use simple authentication instead of SASL. |
−D binddn
Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the LDAP directory.
−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.
−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.
−P 2|3 |
Specify the LDAP protocol version to use. |
−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.
−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. |
If the command-line arguments dn and rdn are given, rdn will replace the RDN of the entry specified by the DN, dn.
Otherwise, the contents of file (or standard input if no −f flag is given) should consist of one or more entries.
Distinguished
Name (DN)
Relative Distinguished Name (RDN)
One or more blank lines may be used to separate each DN/RDN pair.
Assuming that the file /tmp/entrymods exists and has the contents:
cn=Modify Me,
dc=example, dc=com
cn=The New Me
the command:
ldapmodify -r -f /tmp/entrymods
will change the RDN of the "Modify Me" entry from "Modify Me" to "The New Me" and the old cn, "Modify Me" will be removed.
Exit status is 0 if no errors occur. Errors result in a non-zero exit status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.
ldapadd(1), ldapdelete(1), ldapmodify(1), ldapsearch(1), ldap.conf(5), ldap(3), ldap_modrdn2(3)
There is no interactive mode, but there probably should be.
