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.
-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); only the protocol/host/port fields are
allowed; a list of URI, separated by whitespace or commas is expected.
-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
