NAME
ldapwhoami - LDAP who am i? tool
SYNOPSIS
ldapwhoami [-n] [-v] [-z] [-d debuglevel] [-D binddn] [-W] [-w passwd]
[-y passwdfile] [-H ldapuri] [-h ldaphost] [-p ldapport] [-O security-
properties] [-I] [-Q] [-U authcid] [-R realm] [-x] [-X authzid]
[-Y mech] [-Z[Z]]
DESCRIPTION
ldapwhoami implements the LDAP "Who Am I?" extended operation.
ldapwhoami opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and performs a
whoami operation.
OPTIONS
-n Show what would be done, but don’t actually perform the whoami
operation. Useful for debugging in conjunction with -v.
-v Run in verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard
output.
-d debuglevel
Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldapwhoami must be
compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any
effect.
-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 spec-
ifying the password on the command line.
-w passwd
Use passwd as the password for simple authentication.
-y passwdfile
Use complete contents of passwdfile as the password for simple
authentication.
-H ldapuri
Specify URI(s) referring to the ldap server(s); only the proto-
col/host/port fields are allowed; a list of URI, separated by
whitespace or commas is expected.
-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 listen-
ing. 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.
-R realm
Specify the realm of authentication ID for SASL bind. The form
of the realm 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:<distinguished name> or
u:<username>
-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 suc-
cessful.
