ldapmodrdn - LDAP rename entry tool

OpenLDAPSoftware  is  developed  and  maintained  by  The  OpenLDAP Project <http://www.openldap.org/>.
       OpenLDAPSoftware is derived from the University of Michigan LDAP 3.3 Release.

OpenLDAP 2.6.9+dfsg-2ubuntu1                       2024/11/26                                      LDAPMODRDN(1)

       The OpenLDAP Project <http://www.openldap.org/>

ldapmodrdn is a shell-accessible interface to the ldap_rename(3) library call.

       ldapmodrdn opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and modifies  the  RDN  of  entries.   The  entry
       information is read from standard input, from file through the use of the -f option, or from the command-
       line pair dn and rdn.

       Exit status is 0 if no errors occur.  Errors result in a non-zero exit status and  a  diagnostic  message
       being written to standard error.

       Assuming that the file /tmp/entrymods exists and has the contents:

           cn=Modify Me,dc=example,dc=com
           cn=The New Me

       the command:

           ldapmodrdn -r -f /tmp/entrymods

       will change the RDN of the "Modify Me" entry from "Modify Me" to "The New Me" and the old cn, "Modify Me"
       will be removed.

       If the command-line arguments dn and rdn are given, rdn will replace the RDN of the  entry  specified  by
       the DN, dn.

       Otherwise,  the contents of file (or standard input if no -f flag is given) should consist of one or more
       entries.

           Distinguished Name (DN)
           Relative Distinguished Name (RDN)

       One or more blank lines may be used to separate each DN/RDN pair.

-V[V]  Print version info.  If -VV is given, only the version information is printed.

       -ddebuglevel
              Set  the  LDAP debugging level to debuglevel.  ldapmodrdn must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined
              for this option to have any effect.

       -n     Show what would be done, but don't actually change entries.  Useful for debugging  in  conjunction
              with -v.

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

       -r     Remove old RDN values from the entry.  Default is to keep old values.

       -snewsup
              Specify  a  new  superior  entry.  (I.e.,  move  the  target  entry and make it a child of the new
              superior.)  This option is not supported in LDAPv2.

       -c     Continuous  operation  mode.   Errors   are   reported,   but  ldapmodrdn  will   continue    with
              modifications.   The default is to exit after reporting an error.

       -ffile
              Read  the  entry modification information from file instead of from standard input or the command-
              line.

       -M[M]  Enable manage DSA IT control.  -MM makes control critical.

       -x     Use simple authentication instead of SASL.

       -Dbinddn
              Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the LDAP directory.  For SASL binds,  the  server  is
              expected to ignore this value.

       -W     Prompt  for simple authentication.  This is used instead of specifying the password on the command
              line.

       -wpasswd
              Use passwd as the password for simple authentication.

       -ypasswdfile
              Use complete contents of passwdfile as the password for simple authentication.

       -Hldapuri
              Specify 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.

       -P {2|3}
              Specify the LDAP protocol version to use.

       -e [!]ext[=extparam]

       -E [!]ext[=extparam]

              Specify general extensions with -e and modrdn extensions with -E.  ´!´ indicates criticality.

              General extensions:
                [!]assert=<filter>    (an RFC 4515 Filter)
                !authzid=<authzid>    ("dn:<dn>" or "u:<user>")
                [!]bauthzid           (RFC 3829 authzid control)
                [!]chaining[=<resolve>[/<cont>]]
                [!]manageDSAit
                [!]noop
                ppolicy
                [!]postread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
                [!]preread[=<attrs>]  (a comma-separated attribute list)
                [!]relax
                sessiontracking[=<username>]
                abandon,cancel,ignore (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel,
                or ignores response; if critical, doesn't wait for SIGINT.
                not really controls)

              Modrdn extensions:
                (none)

       -oopt[=optparam]

              Specify any ldap.conf(5) option or one of the following:
                nettimeout=<timeout>  (in seconds, or "none" or "max")
                ldif_wrap=<width>     (in columns, or "no" for no wrapping)

       -Osecurity-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.

       -N     Do not use reverse DNS to canonicalize SASL host name.

       -Uauthcid
              Specify  the  authentication  ID  for  SASL  bind.  The  form of the ID depends on the actual SASL
              mechanism used.

       -Rrealm
              Specify the realm of authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the realm depends on the  actual
              SASL mechanism used.

       -Xauthzid
              Specify  the  requested  authorization  ID  for  SASL  bind.  authzid must be one of the following
              formats: dn:<distinguishedname> or u:<username>-Ymech
              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.
