NAME

ldapwhoami - LDAP who am i? tool

SYNOPSIS

ldapwhoami [ -V [ V ]] [ -d debuglevel ] [ -n ] [ -v ] [ -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 ]]

DESCRIPTION

ldapwhoami implements the LDAP "Who Am I?" extended operation.

ldapwhoami opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and performs a whoami operation.

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 . ldapwhoami must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect.

-n

Show what would be done, but don’t actually perform the whoami operation. Useful for debugging in conjunction with -v .

-v

Run in verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard output.

-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 simple authentication. This is used instead of specifying the password on the command 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.

-e [ ! ] ext [ = extparam ]
-E [ ! ] ext [ = extparam ]

Specify general extensions with -e and whoami 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)

WhoAmI 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 option that can be passed here, check ldap.conf (5) for details.

-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.

EXAMPLE

ldapwhoami -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W
