10 [-y passwdfile] [-H ldapuri] [-h ldaphost] [-p ldapport]
11 [-e [!]ext[=extparam]] [-E [!]ext[=extparam]] [-O security-properties]

13
15 ldapwhoami implements the LDAP "Who Am I?" extended operation.
16 ldapwhoami opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and performs a
18 whoami operation.
19
21 -n Show what would be done, but don't actually perform the whoami
22 operation. Useful for debugging in conjunction with -v.
23 -v Run in verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard
25 output.
26 -d debuglevel
28 Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldapwhoami must be
29 compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any
30 effect.
31 -x Use simple authentication instead of SASL.
33 -D binddn
35 Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the LDAP directory.
36 For SASL binds, the server is expected to ignore this value.
37 -W Prompt for simple authentication. This is used instead of spec‐
39 ifying the password on the command line.
40 -w passwd
42 Use passwd as the password for simple authentication.
43 -y passwdfile
45 Use complete contents of passwdfile as the password for simple
46 authentication.
47 -H ldapuri
49 Specify URI(s) referring to the ldap server(s); only the proto‐
50 col/host/port fields are allowed; a list of URI, separated by
51 whitespace or commas is expected.
52 -h ldaphost
54 Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running.
55 Deprecated in favor of -H.
56 -p ldapport
58 Specify an alternate TCP port where the ldap server is listen‐
59 ing. Deprecated in favor of -H.
60 -O security-properties
62 Specify SASL security properties.
63 -e [!]ext[=extparam]
65 -E [!]ext[=extparam]
67 Specify general extensions with -e and search extensions with
69 -E. ´!´ indicates criticality.
70 General extensions:
72 [!]assert=<filter> (an RFC 4515 Filter)
73 [!]authzid=<authzid> ("dn:<dn>" or "u:<user>")
74 [!]manageDSAit
75 [!]noop
76 ppolicy
77 [!]postread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
78 [!]preread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
79 abandon, cancel (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel; not really controls)
80 Search extensions:
82 [!]domainScope (domain scope)
83 [!]mv=<filter> (matched values filter)
84 [!]pr=<size>[/prompt|noprompt] (paged results/prompt)
85 [!]sss=[-]<attr[:OID]>[/[-]<attr[:OID]>...] (server side sorting)
86 [!]subentries[=true|false] (subentries)
87 [!]sync=ro[/<cookie>] (LDAP Sync refreshOnly)
88 rp[/<cookie>][/<slimit>] (LDAP Sync refreshAndPersist)
89 -I Enable SASL Interactive mode. Always prompt. Default is to
91 prompt only as needed.
92 -Q Enable SASL Quiet mode. Never prompt.
94 -U authcid
96 Specify the authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the ID
97 depends on the actual SASL mechanism used.
98 -R realm
100 Specify the realm of authentication ID for SASL bind. The form
101 of the realm depends on the actual SASL mechanism used.
102 -X authzid
104 Specify the requested authorization ID for SASL bind. authzid
105 must be one of the following formats: dn:<distinguished name> or
106 u:<username>
107 -Y mech
109 Specify the SASL mechanism to be used for authentication. If
110 it's not specified, the program will choose the best mechanism
111 the server knows.
112 -Z[Z] Issue StartTLS (Transport Layer Security) extended operation. If
114 you use -ZZ, the command will require the operation to be suc‐
115 cessful.
