DESCRIPTION
ldapwhoami implements the LDAP "Who Am I?" extended operation.
ldapwhoami opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and performs a whoami operation.

ging in conjunction with -v.
-v Run in verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard output.
-d debuglevel
Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldapwhoami must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG
defined for this option to have any effect.
-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 com-mand command
mand 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.
-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.
-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.
