14
16 ldapwhoami implements the LDAP "Who Am I?" extended operation.
17
18 ldapwhoami opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and performs a
19 whoami operation.
20
22 -V[V] Print version info. If -VV is given, only the version informa‐
23 tion is printed.
24
25 -d debuglevel
26 Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldapwhoami must be
27 compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any
28 effect.
29
30 -n Show what would be done, but don't actually perform the whoami
31 operation. Useful for debugging in conjunction with -v.
32
33 -v Run in verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard
34 output.
35
36 -x Use simple authentication instead of SASL.
37
38 -D binddn
39 Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the LDAP directory.
40 For SASL binds, the server is expected to ignore this value.

43 ifying the password on the command line.
44

46 Use passwd as the password for simple authentication.
47
48 -y passwdfile
49 Use complete contents of passwdfile as the password for simple
50 authentication.

54 col/host/port fields are allowed; a list of URI, separated by
55 whitespace or commas is expected.

58 Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running.
59 Deprecated in favor of -H.
60

62 Specify an alternate TCP port where the ldap server is listen‐
63 ing. Deprecated in favor of -H.
