ldapwhoami implements the LDAP "Who Am I?" extended operation.
ldapwhoami opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and performs a whoami operation.
−nShow what would be done, but don't actually perform
the whoami operation. Useful for debugging in
conjunction with −v.
−vRun in verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard output.
−d
debuglevelSet the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldapwhoami must be
compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to
have any effect.
−xUse simple authentication instead of SASL.
−D
binddnUse the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the
LDAP directory. For SASL binds, the server is expected
to ignore this value.
−WPrompt for simple authentication. This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line.
−w
passwdUse passwd
as the password for simple authentication.
−y
passwdfileUse complete contents of passwdfile as the
password for simple authentication.
−H
ldapuriSpecify 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.
−h
ldaphostSpecify an alternate host on which the ldap server
is running. Deprecated in favor of −H.
−p
ldapportSpecify an alternate TCP port where the ldap server
is listening. Deprecated in favor of −H.
−O
security−propertiesSpecify SASL security properties.
−e
[!]ext[=extparam]−E
[!]ext[=extparam]Specify general extensions with −e and search extensions with
−E. '!' indicates
criticality.
General extensions:
[!]assert=<filter> (an RFC 4515 Filter)
[!]authzid=<authzid> ("dn:<dn>" or "u:<user>")
[!]manageDSAit
[!]noop
ppolicy
[!]postread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
[!]preread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
abandon, cancel (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel; not really controls)
Search extensions:
[!]domainScope (domain scope)
[!]mv=<filter> (matched values filter)
[!]pr=<size>[/prompt|noprompt] (paged results/prompt)
[!]sss=[−]<attr[:OID]>[/[−]<attr[:OID]>...] (server side sorting)
[!]subentries[=true|false] (subentries)
[!]sync=ro[/<cookie>] (LDAP Sync refreshOnly)
rp[/<cookie>][/<slimit>] (LDAP Sync refreshAndPersist)
−IEnable SASL Interactive mode. Always prompt. Default is to prompt only as needed.
−QEnable SASL Quiet mode. Never prompt.
−U
authcidSpecify the authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the ID depends on the actual SASL mechanism used.
−R
realmSpecify the realm of authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the realm depends on the actual SASL mechanism used.
−X
authzidSpecify the requested authorization ID for SASL
bind. authzid
must be one of the following formats: dn:<distinguished name>
or u:<username>
−Y
mechSpecify 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.
