ldapmodrdn - LDAP rename entry tool
ldapmodrdn [-V[V]] [-d debuglevel] [-n] [-v] [-r] [-s newsup] [-c]
[-f file] [-M[M]] [-x] [-D binddn] [-W] [-w passwd] [-y passwdfile]
[-H ldapuri] [-h ldaphost] [-p ldapport] [-P {2|3}]
[-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]] [dn rdn]
ldapmodrdn is a shell-accessible interface to the ldap_rename(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.
-V[V] Print version info. If -VV is given, only the version
information is printed.
-d debuglevel
Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldapmodrdn must
be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have
any effect.
-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.
-r Remove old RDN values from the entry. Default is to keep old
values.
-s newsup
Specify a new superior entry. (I.e., move the target entry and
make it a child of the new superior.) This option is not
supported in LDAPv2.
-c Continuous operation mode. Errors are reported, but
ldapmodrdn will continue with modifications. The default
is to exit after reporting an error.
-f file
Read the entry modification information from file instead of
from standard input or the command-line.
-M[M] Enable manage DSA IT control. -MM makes control critical.
-x Use simple authentication instead of SASL.
-D binddn
Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the LDAP
directory. For SASL binds, the server is expected to ignore
this value.
-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 ldapuri
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 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.
-e [!]ext[=extparam]
-E [!]ext[=extparam]
Specify general extensions with -e and modrdn extensions with
-E. ´!´ indicates criticality.
General extensions:
[!]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[=<username>]
abandon,cancel,ignore (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel,
or ignores response; if critical, doesn't wait for SIGINT.
not really controls)
Modrdn extensions:
(none)
-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. 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.
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.
Assuming that the file /tmp/entrymods exists and has the contents:
cn=Modify Me,dc=example,dc=com
cn=The New Me
the command:
ldapmodrdn -r -f /tmp/entrymods
will change the RDN of the "Modify Me" entry from "Modify Me" to "The
New Me" and the old cn, "Modify Me" will be removed.
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.
