11 ldapexop [-V[V]] [-d debuglevel] [-n] [-v] [-f file] [-x] [-D binddn]
12 [-W] [-w passwd] [-y passwdfile] [-H URI] [-h ldaphost] [-p ldapport]
13 [-e [!]ext[=extparam]] [-o opt[=optparam]] [-O security-properties]
14 [-I] [-Q] [-N] [-U authcid] [-R realm] [-X authzid] [-Y mech] [-Z[Z]]
15 {oid | oid:data | oid::b64data | whoami | cancel cancel-id |
16 refresh DN [ttl]}
17
20 ldapexop issues the LDAP extended operation specified by oid or one of
21 the special keywords whoami, cancel, or refresh.
22 Additional data for the extended operation can be passed to the server
24 using data or base-64 encoded as b64data in the case of oid, or using
25 the additional parameters in the case of the specially named extended
26 operations above.
27 Please note that ldapexop behaves differently for the same extended
29 operation when it was given as an OID or as a specialliy named opera‐
30 tion:
31 Calling ldapexop with the OID of the whoami (RFC 4532) extended opera‐
33 tion
34 ldapexop [<options>] 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.1.11.3
36 yields
38 # extended operation response
40 data:: <base64 encoded response data>
41 while calling it with the keyword whoami
43 ldapexop [<options>] whoami
45 results in
47 dn:<client's identity>
49
54 -V[V] Print version info. If-VV is given, only the version informa‐
55 tion is printed.
56 -d debuglevel
58 Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel.
59 -n Show what would be done but don't actually do it. Useful for
61 debugging in conjunction with -v.
62 -v Run in verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard
64 output.
65 -f file
67 Read operations from file.
68 -x Use simple authentication instead of SASL.
70 -D binddn
72 Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the LDAP directory.
73 -W Prompt for simple authentication. This is used instead of spec‐
75 ifying the password on the command line.
76 -w passwd
78 Use passwd as the password for simple authentication.
79 -y passwdfile
81 Use complete contents of passwdfile as the password for simple
82 authentication.
83 -H URI Specify URI(s) referring to the ldap server(s); only the proto‐
85 col/host/port fields are allowed; a list of URI, separated by
86 whitespace or commas is expected.
87 -h ldaphost
89 Specify the host on which the ldap server is running. Depre‐
90 cated in favor of -H.
91 -p ldapport
93 Specify the TCP port where the ldap server is listening. Depre‐
94 cated in favor of -H.
95 -e [!]ext[=extparam]
97 Specify general extensions. ´!´ indicates criticality.
98 [!]assert=<filter> (an RFC 4515 Filter)
99 !authzid=<authzid> ("dn:<dn>" or "u:<user>")
100 [!]bauthzid (RFC 3829 authzid control)
101 [!]chaining[=<resolve>[/<cont>]]
102 [!]manageDSAit
103 [!]noop
104 ppolicy
105 [!]postread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
106 [!]preread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
107 [!]relax
108 sessiontracking
109 abandon,cancel,ignore (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel,
110 or ignores response; if critical, doesn't wait for SIGINT.
111 not really controls)
112 -o opt[=optparam]
114 Specify general options.
116 General options:
118 nettimeout=<timeout> (in seconds, or "none" or "max")
119 ldif-wrap=<width> (in columns, or "no" for no wrapping)
120 -O security-properties
122 Specify SASL security properties.
123 -I Enable SASL Interactive mode. Always prompt. Default is to
125 prompt only as needed.
126 -Q Enable SASL Quiet mode. Never prompt.
128 -N Do not use reverse DNS to canonicalize SASL host name.
130 -U authcid
132 Specify the authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the ID
133 depends on the actual SASL mechanism used.
134 -R realm
136 Specify the realm of authentication ID for SASL bind. The form
137 of the realm depends on the actual SASL mechanism used.
138 -X authzid
140 Specify the requested authorization ID for SASL bind. authzid
141 must be one of the following formats: dn:<distinguished name> or
142 u:<username>
143 -Y mech
145 Specify the SASL mechanism to be used for authentication. With‐
146 out this option, the program will choose the best mechanism the
147 server knows.
148 -Z[Z] Issue StartTLS (Transport Layer Security) extended operation.
150 Giving it twice (-ZZ) will require the operation to be success‐
151 ful.
152
155 Exit status is zero if no errors occur. Errors result in a non-zero
156 exit status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.

165 usage message and a few tests with ldapexop. Do not expect it to be
