NAME
ldapexop - issue LDAP extended operations
SYNOPSIS
ldapexop [-V[V]] [-d debuglevel] [-n] [-v] [-f file] [-x] [-D binddn]
[-W] [-w passwd] [-y passwdfile] [-H URI] [-h ldaphost] [-p ldapport]
[-e [!]ext[=extparam]] [-o opt[=optparam]] [-O security-properties]
[-I] [-Q] [-N] [-U authcid] [-R realm] [-X authzid] [-Y mech] [-Z[Z]]
{oid | oid:data | oid::b64data | whoami | cancel cancel-id |
refresh DN [ttl]}
DESCRIPTION
ldapexop issues the LDAP extended operation specified by oid or one of
the special keywords whoami, cancel, or refresh.
Additional data for the extended operation can be passed to the server
using data or base-64 encoded as b64data in the case of oid, or using
the additional parameters in the case of the specially named extended
operations above.
Please note that ldapexop behaves differently for the same extended
operation when it was given as an OID or as a specialliy named
operation:
Calling ldapexop with the OID of the whoami (RFC 4532) extended
operation
ldapexop [<options>] 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.1.11.3
yields
# extended operation response
data:: <base64 encoded response data>
while calling it with the keyword whoami
ldapexop [<options>] whoami
results in
dn:<client's identity>
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.
-n Show what would be done but don't actually do it. Useful for
debugging in conjunction with -v.
-v Run in verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard
output.
-f file
Read operations from file.
-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.
-y passwdfile
Use complete contents of passwdfile as the password for simple
authentication.
-H URI 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.
-h ldaphost
Specify the host on which the ldap server is running.
Deprecated in favor of -H.
-p ldapport
Specify the TCP port where the ldap server is listening.
Deprecated in favor of -H.
-e [!]ext[=extparam]
Specify general extensions. ! indicates criticality.
[!]assert=<filter> (an RFC 4515 Filter)
!authzid=<authzid> ("dn:<dn>" or "u:<user>")
[!]bauthzid (RFC 3829 authzid control)
[!]chaining[=<resolve>[/<cont>]]
[!]manageDSAit
[!]noop
ppolicy
[!]postread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
[!]preread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
[!]relax
sessiontracking
abandon,cancel,ignore (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel,
or ignores response; if critical, doesn't wait for SIGINT.
not really controls)
-o opt[=optparam]
Specify general options.
General options:
nettimeout=<timeout> (in seconds, or "none" or "max")
ldif-wrap=<width> (in columns, or "no" for no wrapping)
-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.
-N Do not use reverse DNS to canonicalize SASL host name.
-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.
Without this option, the program will choose the best mechanism
the server knows.
-Z[Z] Issue StartTLS (Transport Layer Security) extended operation.
Giving it twice (-ZZ) will require the operation to be
successful.
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.
