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.
−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.
−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. ldappasswd 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 conjunction with −v or −d) | ||
−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.
−v |
Increase the verbosity of output. Can be specified multiple times. | ||
−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.
−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 requested 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 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 |
ldap_sasl_bind(3), ldap_extended_operation(3), ldap_start_tls_s(3)
