NAME
ldapwhoami - LDAP who am i? tool

SYNOPSIS
ldapwhoami [-n] [-v] [-z] [-d debuglevel] [-D binddn] [-W] [-w passwd] [-y passwdfile] [-H ldapuri] [-h ldaphost] [-p ldapport] [-O security-properties] [-I] [-Q] [-U authcid] [-R realm] [-x] [-X authzid] [-Y mech] [-Z[Z]]

DESCRIPTION
ldapwhoami implements the LDAP "Who Am I?" extended operation.

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 conjunction with -v.

-v  Run in verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard output.

-d debuglevel
    Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldapcompare 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 authentication.

-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 formats: dn: <distinguished name> or u: <username>

-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.

-Z[Z]
    Issue StartTLS (Transport Layer Security) extended operation. If you use -ZZ , the command will require the operation to be successful.

EXAMPLE
    ldapwhoami -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W
