NAME
ldapwhoami - LDAP who am i? tool
SYNOPSIS
ldapwhoami [-n] [-v] [-z] [-d debuglevel] [-D binddn] [-W] [-w passwd] [-y passwdfile] [-H ldapuri] [-h ldaphost] [-p ldapport] [-e [!]ext[=extparam]] [-E [!]ext[=extparam]] [-O security-properties] [-I] [-Q] [-U authcid] [-R realm] [-x] [-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
- -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.
- -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. For SASL binds, the server is expected to ignore this value.
- -W Prompt for simple authentication. This is used instead of spec
- ifying 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.
- -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.
- -O security-properties
- Specify SASL security properties.
- -e [!]ext[=extparam]
- -E [!]ext[=extparam]
Specify general extensions with -e and search extensions with -E. '!' indicates criticality.- General extensions:
[!]assert=<filter> (an RFC 4515 Filter)
[!]authzid=<authzid> ("dn:<dn>" or "u:<user>")
[!]manageDSAit
[!]noop
ppolicy
[!]postread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list) [!]preread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
abandon, cancel (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel; not really controls) - Search extensions:
[!]domainScope (domain scope)
[!]mv=<filter> (matched values filter) [!]pr=<size>[/prompt|noprompt] (paged results/prompt)
[!]sss=[-]<attr[:OID]>[/[-]<attr[:OID]>...] (server side sorting) [!]subentries[=true|false] (subentries)
[!]sync=ro[/<cookie>] (LDAP Sync refreshOnly)rp[/<cookie>][/<slimit>] (LDAP Sync refreshAndPersist) - -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.
