ldapwhoami implements the LDAP "Who Am I?"
extended operation.
ldapwhoami opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and
performs a whoami operation.
- -V[V]
- Print version info. If -VV is given, only the version information
is printed.
- -d debuglevel
- Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldapwhoami must
be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any
effect.
- -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.
- -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.
- -e [!]ext[=extparam]
- -E [!]ext[=extparam]
-
Specify general extensions with -e and whoami
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)
WhoAmI extensions:
(none)
- -o opt[=optparam]
-
Specify any ldap.conf(5) option or one of the
following:
nettimeout=<timeout> (in seconds, or "none" or "max")
ldif_wrap=<width> (in columns, or "no" for no wrapping)
-o option that can be passed here, check
ldap.conf(5) for details.
- -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.
