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.
−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.
−P
2|3Specify the LDAP protocol version to use.
−O
security−propertiesSpecify SASL security properties.
−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.
