DESCRIPTIONldapwhoami implements the LDAP "Who Am I?" extended opera-
tion.
ldapwhoami opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds,
and performs a whoami operation.
OPTIONS-n Show what would be done, but don't actually perform
the whoami operation. Useful for debugging in con-
junction with -v.
-v Run in verbose mode, with many diagnostics written
to standard output.
-d debuglevel
Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldap-
compare must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined
for this option to have any effect.
-x Use simple authentication instead of SASL.
-D binddn
Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the
LDAP directory.
-W Prompt for simple authentication. This is used
instead of specifying the password on the command
line.
-w passwd
Use passwd as the password for simple authentica-
tion.
-y passwdfile
Use complete contents of passwdfile as the password
for simple authentication.
-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.
-P 2|3 Specify the LDAP protocol version to use.
-O security-properties
Specify SASL security properties.
-I Enable SASL Interactive mode. Always prompt.
Default is to prompt only as needed.
-Q Enable SASL Quiet mode. Never prompt.
-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 requested authorization ID for SASL
bind. authzid must be one of the following for-
mats: dn:<distinguished name> or u:<username>
-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.
-Z[Z] Issue StartTLS (Transport Layer Security) extended
operation. If you use -ZZ, the command will require
the operation to be successful.
