DESCRIPTIONldappasswd is a tool to set the password of an LDAP user.
ldappasswd uses the LDAPv3 Password Modify (RFC 3062)
extended operation.
ldappasswd sets the password of associated with the user
[or an optionally specified user]. 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.
ldappasswd is neither designed nor intended to be a
replacement for passwd(1) and should not be installed as
such.

specifying the password on the command line.
-a oldPasswd
Set the old password to oldPasswd.
-t oldPasswdFile
Set the old password to the contents of oldPasswd-
File.
-x Use simple authentication instead of SASL.
-D binddn
Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the
LDAP directory.

Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldap-
passwd must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for
this option to have any effect.
-H ldapuri
Specify URI(s) referring to the ldap server(s).
-h ldaphost
Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server
is running. Deprecated in favor of -H.
-p ldapport
Specify an alternate TCP port where the ldap server
is listening. Deprecated in favor of -H.

conjunction with -v or -d)

-U authcid
Specify the authentication ID for SASL bind. The
form of the ID depends on the actual SASL mechanism
used.
-R realm
Specify the realm of authentication ID for SASL
bind. The form of the realm depends on the actual
SASL mechanism used.
-X authzid
Specify the proxy authorization ID for SASL bind.
authzid must be one of the following formats:

-Y mech
Specify the SASL mechanism to be used for authenti-
cation. If it's not specified, the program will
choose the best mechanism the server knows.
