       OpenLDAPSoftware is derived from the University of Michigan LDAP 3.3 Release.

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

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

       ldapwhoami opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and performs a whoami operation.

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

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

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

       -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.

       -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.

       -e [!]ext[=extparam]

       -E [!]ext[=extparam]

              Specify general extensions with -e and whoami 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)

              WhoAmI 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)

              -o option that can be passed here, check ldap.conf(5) for details.

       -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.
