If the new password is not specified on the command line and the user doesn't enable prompting, the server will be asked to generate a password for the user. .LP .B ldappasswd is neither designed nor intended to be a replacement for .BR passwd (1) and should not be installed as such. .SH OPTIONS .TP .BI \-A Prompt for old password. This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line. .TP .BI \-a \ oldPasswd Set the old password to \fIoldPasswd\fP. .TP .BI \-t \ oldPasswdFile Set the old password to the contents of \fIoldPasswdFile\fP. .TP .B \-x Use simple authentication instead of SASL. .TP .BI \-D \ binddn Use the Distinguished Name \fIbinddn\fP to bind to the LDAP directory. .TP .BI \-d \ debuglevel Set the LDAP debugging level to \fIdebuglevel\fP. .B ldappasswd must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect. .TP .BI \-H \ ldapuri Specify URI(s) referring to the ldap server(s). .TP .BI \-h \ ldaphost Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running. Deprecated in favor of -H. .TP .BI \-p \ ldapport Specify an alternate TCP port where the ldap server is listening. Deprecated in favor of -H. .TP .B \-n Do not set password. (Can be useful when used in conjunction with .BR \-v \ or .BR \-d ) .TP .BI \-S Prompt for new password. This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line. .TP .BI \-s \ newPasswd Set the new password to \fInewPasswd\fP. .TP .BI \-T \ newPasswdFile Set the new password to the contents of \fInewPasswdFile\fP. .TP .B \-v Increase the verbosity of output. Can be specified multiple times. .TP .BI \-W Prompt for bind password. This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line. .TP .BI \-w \ passwd Use \fIpasswd\fP as the password to bind with. .TP .BI \-y \ passwdfile Use complete contents of \fIpasswdfile\fP as the password for simple authentication. .TP .BI \-O \ security-properties Specify SASL security properties. .TP .B \-I Enable SASL Interactive mode. Always prompt. Default is to prompt only as needed. .TP .B \-Q Enable SASL Quiet mode. Never prompt. .TP .BI \-U \ authcid Specify the authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the ID depends on the actual SASL mechanism used. .TP .BI \-R \ realm Specify the realm of authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the realm depends on the actual SASL mechanism used. .TP .BI \-X \ authzid Specify the requested authorization ID for SASL bind. .I authzid must be one of the following formats: .BI dn: <distinguished name> or .BI u: <username>\fP. .TP .BI \-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. .TP .B \-Z[Z] Issue StartTLS (Transport Layer Security) extended operation. If you use .BR \-ZZ , the command will require the operation to be successful .SH SEE ALSO .BR ldap_sasl_bind (3), .BR ldap_extended_operation (3), .BR ldap_start_tls_s (3) .SH AUTHOR The OpenLDAP Project <http://www.openldap.org/> .SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .B OpenLDAP is developed and maintained by The OpenLDAP Project (http://www.openldap.org/). .B OpenLDAP is derived from University of Michigan LDAP 3.3 Release.
