43 !!DESCRIPTION
44
45
46 __ldapmodify__ is a shell-accessible interface to the
4 perry 47 ldap_modify(3) and __ldap_add__(3) library calls.
1 perry 48 __ldapadd__ is implemented as a hard link to the
49 ldapmodify tool. When invoked as __ldapadd__ the -a (add
50 new entry) flag is turned on automatically.
51
52
53 __ldapmodify__ opens a connection to an LDAP server,
54 binds, and modifies or adds entries. The entry information
55 is read from standard input or from ''file'' through the
56 use of the -f option.
57 !!OPTIONS
58
59
60 __-a__
61
62
63 Add new entries. The default for __ldapmodify__ is to
64 modify existing entries. If invoked as __ldapadd__, this
65 flag is always set.
66
67
68 __-c__
69
70
71 Continuous operation mode. Errors are reported, but
72 __ldapmodify__ will continue with modifications. The
73 default is to exit after reporting an error.
74
75
76 __-n__
77
78
79 Show what would be done, but don't actually modify entries.
80 Useful for debugging in conjunction with -v.
81
82
83 __-v__
84
85
86 Use verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard
87 output.
88
89
90 __-k__
91
92
93 Use Kerberos IV authentication instead of simple
94 authentication. It is assumed that you already have a valid
95 ticket granting ticket. You must compile with Kerberos
96 support for this option to have any effect.
97
98
99 __-K__
100
101
102 Same as -k, but only does step 1 of the Kerberos IV bind.
103 This is useful when connecting to a slapd and there is no
104 x500dsa.hostname principal registered with your Kerberos
105 Domain Controller(s).
106
107
108 __-F__
109
110
111 Force application of all changes regardless of the contents
112 of input lines that begin with ''replica:'' (by default,
113 replica: lines are compared against the LDAP server host and
114 port in use to decide if a replog record should actually be
115 applied).
116
117
118 __-M[[M]__
119
120
121 Enable manage DSA IT control. __-MM__ makes control
122 critical.
123
124
125 __-d__ ''debuglevel''
126
127
128 Set the LDAP debugging level to ''debuglevel''.
129 __ldapmodify__ must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined
130 for this option to have any effect.
131
132
133 __-f__ ''file''
134
135
136 Read the entry modification information from ''file''
137 instead of from standard input.
138
139
140 __-x__
141
142
143 Use simple authentication instead of SASL.
144
145
146 __-D__ ''binddn''
147
148
149 Use the Distinguished Name ''binddn'' to bind to the LDAP
150 directory.
151
152
153 __-W__
154
155
156 Prompt for simple authentication. This is used instead of
157 specifying the password on the command line.
158
159
160 __-w__ ''passwd''
161
162
163 Use ''passwd'' as the password for simple
164 authentication.
165
166
167 __-H__ ''ldapuri''
168
169
170 Specify URI(s) referring to the ldap server(s).
171
172
173 __-h__ ''ldaphost''
174
175
176 Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is
177 running. Deprecated in favor of -H.
178
179
180 __-p__ ''ldapport''
181
182
183 Specify an alternate TCP port where the ldap server is
184 listening. Deprecated in favor of -H.
185
186
187 __-P__ ''2''|''3''
188
189
190 Specify the LDAP protocol version to use.
191
192
193 __-O__ ''security-properties''
194
195
196 Specify SASL security properties.
197
198
199 __-I__
200
201
202 Enable SASL Interactive mode. Always prompt. Default is to
203 prompt only as needed.
204
205
206 __-Q__
207
208
209 Enable SASL Quiet mode. Never prompt.
210
211
212 __-U__ ''authcid''
213
214
215 Specify the authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the
216 ID depends on the actual SASL mechanism used.
217
218
219 __-X__ ''authzid''
220
221
222 Specify the requested authorization ID for SASL bind.
223 ''authzid'' must be one of the following formats:
224 __dn:__'''' or
225 __u:__''''
226
227
228 __-Y__ ''mech''
229
230
231 Specify the SASL mechanism to be used for authentication. If
232 it's not specified, the program will choose the best
233 mechanism the server knows.
234
235
236 __-Z[[Z]__
237
238
239 Issue StartTLS (Transport Layer Security) extended
240 operation. If you use __-ZZ__, the command will require
241 the operation to be successful.
242 !!INPUT FORMAT
243
244
245 The contents of ''file'' (or standard input if no -f flag
246 is given on the command line) should conform to the format
4 perry 247 defined in slapd.replog(5), with the exceptions noted
1 perry 248 below.
249
250
251 Lines that begin with
252 ldapmodify'' to apply all of
253 the replog changes, regardless of the presence or absence of
254 any ''
255
256
257 If no
258 ldapmodify)'' and
259 ''
260
261
262 If changetype is
263 ldapmodify__(1) for ldapadd(1).
264
265
4 perry 266 Note that the above exceptions to the slapd.replog(5)
1 perry 267 format allow ldif(5) entries to be used as input to
268 ''ldapmodify'' or ''ldapadd.''
269 !!EXAMPLES
270
271
272 Assuming that the file __/tmp/entrymods__ exists and has
273 the contents:
274
275
276 dn: cn=Modify Me, dc=example, dc=com
277 changetype: modify
278 replace: mail
279 mail: modme@OpenLDAP.org
280 -
281 add: title
282 title: Grand Poobah

284 add: jpegPhoto
285 jpegPhoto:
286 the command:
287
288
289 ldapmodify -r -f /tmp/entrymods
290 will replace the contents of the mail'' attribute with the value ''title'' of ''jpegPhoto'', and completely remove the ''description'' attribute.
291
292
293 Assuming that the file __/tmp/newentry__ exists and has
294 the contents:
295
296
297 dn: cn=Barbara Jensen, dc=example, dc=com
298 objectClass: person
299 cn: Barbara Jensen
300 cn: Babs Jensen
301 sn: Jensen
302 title: the world's most famous mythical manager
303 mail: bjensen@example.com
304 uid: bjensen
305 the command:
306 ldapadd -f /tmp/entrymods
307 will add a new entry for Babs Jensen, using the values from the file __/tmp/newentry.__
308
309
310 Assuming that the file __/tmp/newentry__ exists and has
311 the contents:
312
313
314 dn: cn=Barbara Jensen, dc=example, dc=com
315 changetype: delete
316 the command:

318 will remove Babs Jensen's entry.
319 !!DIAGNOSTICS
320
321
322 Exit status is zero if no errors occur. Errors result in a
323 non-zero exit status and a diagnostic message being written
324 to standard error.
