17 .B [\-f file] [dn rdn]
20 is a shell-accessible interface to the
25 opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and modifies the RDN of entries.
26 The entry information is read from standard input, from \fIfile\fP through
29 option, or from the command-line pair \fIdn\fP and
34 Remove old RDN values from the entry. Default is to keep old values.
37 Show what would be done, but don't actually change entries. Useful for
38 debugging in conjunction with -v.
41 Use verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard output.
44 Use Kerberos authentication instead of simple authentication. It is
45 assumed that you already have a valid ticket granting ticket.
47 must be compiled with KERBEROS defined for this option to have effect.
50 Same as \-k, but only does step 1 of the kerberos bind. This is useful
51 when connecting to a slapd and there is no x500dsa.hostname principal
52 registered with your kerberos servers.
55 Continuous operation mode. Errors are reported, but ldapmodify
56 will continue with modifications. The default is to exit after
60 Set the LDAP debugging level to \fIdebuglevel\fP.
63 compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect.
66 Read the entry modification information from \fIfile\fP instead of from
67 standard input or the command-line.
70 Use \fIbinddn\fP to bind to the X.500 directory. \fIbinddn\fP should be
71 a string-represented DN as defined in RFC 1779.
74 Use \fIpasswd\fP as the password for simple authentication.
77 Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running.
80 Specify an alternate TCP port where the ldap server is listening.
82 If the command-line arguments \fIdn\fP and \fIrdn\fP are given, \fIrdn\fP
83 will replace the RDN of the entry specified by the DN, \fIdn\fP.
85 Otherwise, the contents of \fIfile\fP (or standard input if
88 flag is given) should consist of one or more entries.
91 Distinguished Name (DN)
92 Relative Distinguished Name (RDN)
95 One or more blank lines may be used to separate each DN/RDN pair.
97 Assuming that the file
99 exists and has the contents:
102 cn=Modify Me, o=University of Michigan, c=US
109 ldapmodify -r -f /tmp/entrymods
112 will change the RDN of the "Modify Me" entry from "Modify Me" to
113 "The New Me" and the old cn, "Modify Me" will be removed.
116 Exit status is 0 if no errors occur. Errors result in a non-zero exit
117 status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.
