SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

ldapmodrdn is a shell-accessible interface to the ldap_modrdn2(3) library call.

ldapmodrdn opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and modifies the RDN of entries. The entry information is read from standard input, from file through the use of the -f option, or from the command-line pair dn and rdn.

OPTIONS

-r

Remove old RDN values from the entry. Default is to keep old values.

-n

Show what would be done, but don't actually change 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. ldapmodrdn must be compiled with Kerberos support for this option to have 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).

-c

Continuous operation mode. Errors are reported, but ldapmodify will continue with modifications. The default is to exit after reporting an error.

-M[M

Enable manage DSA IT control. -MM makes control critical.

-d debuglevel

Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldapmodrdn 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 or the command-line.

-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

If the command-line arguments dn and rdn are given, rdn will replace the RDN of the entry specified by the DN, dn.

Otherwise, the contents of file (or standard input if no -f flag is given) should consist of one or more entries.

Distinguished Name (DN)

Relative Distinguished Name (RDN) One or more blank lines may be used to separate each DN/RDN pair.

EXAMPLE

Assuming that the file /tmp/entrymods exists and has

the contents

cn=Modify Me, dc=example, dc=com

cn=The New Me

the command

ldapmodify -r -f /tmp/entrymods

will change the RDN of the

DIAGNOSTICS

Exit status is 0 if no errors occur. Errors result in a non-zero exit status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.

BUGS

There is no interactive mode, but there probably should be.
