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
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.
-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.
