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¶
- -V[V]
- Print version info. If -VV is given, only the version information
is printed.
- -d debuglevel
- Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldappasswd must
be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any
effect.
- -n
- Do not set password. (Can be useful when used in conjunction with
-v or -d)
- -v
- Increase the verbosity of output. Can be specified multiple times.
- -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.
- -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.
- -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 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.
- -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.
- -e [!]ext[=extparam]
- -E [!]ext[=extparam]
-
Specify general extensions with -e and passwd modify 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
abandon,cancel,ignore (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel,
or ignores response; if critical, doesn't wait for SIGINT.
not really controls)
Passwd Modify extensions:
(none)
- -o opt[=optparam]]
-
Specify general options.
General options:
nettimeout=<timeout> (in seconds, or "none" or "max")
ldif-wrap=<width> (in columns, or "no" for no wrapping)
- -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
