ldappasswd - change the password of an LDAP entry
SYNOPSIS
ldappasswd [-V[V]] [-d debuglevel] [-n] [-v] [-A] [-a oldPasswd] [-t oldpasswdfile] [-S] [-s newPasswd] [-T newpasswdfile] [-x] [-D binddn] [-W] [-w passwd] [-y passwdfile] [-H ldapuri] [-e [!]ext[=extparam]] [-E [!]ext[=extparam]] [-o opt[=optparam]] [-O security-properties] [-I] [-Q] [-N] [-U authcid] [-R realm] [-X authzid] [-Y mech] [-Z[Z]] [user]
DESCRIPTION
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
|
-V[V] |
Print version info. If -VV is given, only the version information is printed. |
-d debuglevel
Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldappasswd must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect.
|
-n |
Do not set password. (Can be useful when used in conjunction with -v or -d) | ||
|
-v |
Increase the verbosity of output. Can be specified multiple times. | ||
|
-A |
Prompt for old password. This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line. |
-a oldPasswd
Set the old password to oldPasswd.
-t oldPasswdFile
Set the old password to the contents of oldPasswdFile.
|
-S |
Prompt for new password. This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line. |
-s newPasswd

-T newPasswdFile
Set the new password to the contents of newPasswdFile.
|
-x |
Use simple authentication instead of SASL. |
-D binddn

-w passwd
Use passwd as the password to bind with.
-y passwdfile
Use complete contents of passwdfile as the password for simple authentication.
