NAME

ldappasswd - change the password of an LDAP entry

SYNOPSIS

ldappasswd [ -V [ V ]] [ -d debuglevel ] [ -n ] [ -v ] [ -A ] [ -a oldPasswd ] [ -t oldpasswdfile ] [ -S ] [ -s newPasswd ] [ -T newpasswdfile ] [ -x ] [ -D binddn ] [ -W ] [ -w passwd ] [ -y passwdfile ] [ -H ldapuri ] [ -e [ ! ] ext [ = extparam ]] [ -E [ ! ] ext [ = extparam ]] [ -o opt [= optparam ]] [ -O security-properties ] [ -I ] [ -Q ] [ -N ] [ -U authcid ] [ -R realm ] [ -X authzid ] [ -Y mech ] [ -Z [ Z ]] [ user ]

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.

-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[=<username>]
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 any ldap.conf (5) option or one of the following:
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
