LDAPMODIFY !!!LDAPMODIFY NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION OPTIONS INPUT FORMAT EXAMPLES DIAGNOSTICS SEE ALSO BUGS AUTHOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ---- !!NAME ldapmodify, ldapadd - LDAP modify entry and LDAP add entry tools !!SYNOPSIS __ldapmodify__ [[__-a__] [[__-c__] [[__-n__] [[__-v__] [[__-k__] [[__-K__] [[__-M[[M]__] [[__-d__ ''debuglevel''] [[__-D__ ''binddn''] [[__-W__] [[__-w__ ''passwd''] [[__-H__ ''ldapuri''] [[__-h__ ''ldaphost''] [[__-p__ ''ldapport''] [[__-P__ ''2''|''3''] [[__-O__ security-properties__]__ [[__-I__] [[__-Q__] [[__-U__ ''authcid''] [[__-x__] [[__-X__ ''authzid''] [[__-Y__ ''mech''] [[__-Z[[Z]__] [[__-f__ ''file''] __ldapadd__ [[__-c__] [[__-n__] [[__-v__] [[__-k__] [[__-K__] [[__-M[[M]__] [[__-d__ ''debuglevel''] [[__-D__ ''binddn''] [[__-W__] [[__-w__ ''passwd''] [[__-h__ ''ldaphost''] [[__-p__ ''ldapport''] [[__-P__ ''2''|''3''] [[__-O__ security-properties__]__ [[__-I__] [[__-Q__] [[__-U__ ''authcid''] [[__-x__] [[__-X__ ''authzid''] [[__-Y__ ''mech''] [[__-Z[[Z]__] [[__-f__ ''file''] !!DESCRIPTION __ldapmodify__ is a shell-accessible interface to the ldap_modify(3) and __ldap_add__(3) library calls. __ldapadd__ is implemented as a hard link to the ldapmodify tool. When invoked as __ldapadd__ the -a (add new entry) flag is turned on automatically. __ldapmodify__ opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and modifies or adds entries. The entry information is read from standard input or from ''file'' through the use of the -f option. !!OPTIONS __-a__ Add new entries. The default for __ldapmodify__ is to modify existing entries. If invoked as __ldapadd__, this flag is always set. __-c__ Continuous operation mode. Errors are reported, but __ldapmodify__ will continue with modifications. The default is to exit after reporting an error. __-n__ Show what would be done, but don't actually modify entries. Useful for debugging in conjunction with -v. __-v__ Use verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard output. __-k__ Use Kerberos IV authentication instead of simple authentication. It is assumed that you already have a valid ticket granting ticket. You must compile with Kerberos support for this option to have any effect. __-K__ Same as -k, but only does step 1 of the Kerberos IV bind. This is useful when connecting to a slapd and there is no x500dsa.hostname principal registered with your Kerberos Domain Controller(s). __-F__ Force application of all changes regardless of the contents of input lines that begin with ''replica:'' (by default, replica: lines are compared against the LDAP server host and port in use to decide if a replog record should actually be applied). __-M[[M]__ Enable manage DSA IT control. __-MM__ makes control critical. __-d__ ''debuglevel'' Set the LDAP debugging level to ''debuglevel''. __ldapmodify__ must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect. __-f__ ''file'' Read the entry modification information from ''file'' instead of from standard input. __-x__ Use simple authentication instead of SASL. __-D__ ''binddn'' Use the Distinguished Name ''binddn'' to bind to the LDAP directory. __-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. __-H__ ''ldapuri'' Specify URI(s) referring to the ldap server(s). __-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. __-P__ ''2''|''3'' Specify the LDAP protocol version to use. __-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. __-U__ ''authcid'' Specify the authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the ID 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:__'''' or __u:__'''' __-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. !!INPUT FORMAT The contents of ''file'' (or standard input if no -f flag is given on the command line) should conform to the format defined in slapd.replog(5), with the exceptions noted below. Lines that begin with ldapmodify'' to apply all of the replog changes, regardless of the presence or absence of any '' If no ldapmodify)'' and '' If changetype is ldapmodify__(1) for ldapadd(1). Note that the above exceptions to the slapd.replog(5) format allow ldif(5) entries to be used as input to ''ldapmodify'' or ''ldapadd.'' !!EXAMPLES Assuming that the file __/tmp/entrymods__ exists and has the contents: dn: cn=Modify Me, dc=example, dc=com changetype: modify replace: mail mail: modme@OpenLDAP.org - add: title title: Grand Poobah - add: jpegPhoto jpegPhoto: the command: ldapmodify -r -f /tmp/entrymods will replace the contents of the mail'' attribute with the value ''title'' of ''jpegPhoto'', and completely remove the ''description'' attribute. Assuming that the file __/tmp/newentry__ exists and has the contents: dn: cn=Barbara Jensen, dc=example, dc=com objectClass: person cn: Barbara Jensen cn: Babs Jensen sn: Jensen title: the world's most famous mythical manager mail: bjensen@example.com uid: bjensen the command: ldapadd -f /tmp/entrymods will add a new entry for Babs Jensen, using the values from the file __/tmp/newentry.__ Assuming that the file __/tmp/newentry__ exists and has the contents: dn: cn=Barbara Jensen, dc=example, dc=com changetype: delete the command: ldapmodify -f /tmp/entrymods will remove Babs Jensen's entry. !!DIAGNOSTICS Exit status is zero if no errors occur. Errors result in a non-zero exit status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error. !!SEE ALSO ldapadd(1), ldapdelete(1), ldapmodrdn(1), ldapsearch(1), ldap.conf(5), ldap(3), __ldap_add__(3), ldap_delete(3), __ldap_modify__(3), ldap_modrdn(3), __slapd.replog__(5) !!BUGS There is no interactive mode, but there probably should be. !!AUTHOR The OpenLDAP Project !!ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS __OpenLDAP__ is developed and maintained by The OpenLDAP Project (http://www.openldap.org/). __OpenLDAP__ is derived from University of Michigan LDAP 3.3 Release. ----
