Overview
ldappasswd is a tool to set the password of an LDAP user. ldappasswd uses the LDAPv3 Password Modify (RFC 3062) extended operation.
ldappasswd sets the password of associated with the user [or an optionally specified user]. If the new password is not specified on the command line and the user doesn't enable prompting, the server will be asked to generate a password for the user.
ldappasswd is neither designed nor intended to be a replacement for passwd(1) and should not be installed as such.
Options
-
-A -
Prompt for old password. This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line.
|
Set the old password to oldPasswd. |
|---|---|
|
Set the old password to the contents of oldPasswdFile. |
-
-x -
Use simple authentication instead of SASL.
-Dbinddn-
Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the LDAP directory. For SASL binds, the server is expected to ignore this value.
-ddebuglevel-
Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel.
ldappasswdmust be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect.
-Hldapuri-
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.
-hldaphost-
Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running. Deprecated in favor of
-H.
-pldapport-
Specify an alternate TCP port where the ldap server is listening. Deprecated in favor of
-H.
-
-n -
Do not set password. (Can be useful when used in conjunction with
-vor-d)
