36 is a shell-accessible interface to the
41 opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and modifies the RDN of entries.
42 The entry information is read from standard input, from \fIfile\fP through
45 option, or from the command-line pair \fIdn\fP and
50 Remove old RDN values from the entry. Default is to keep old values.
53 Show what would be done, but don't actually change entries. Useful for
54 debugging in conjunction with -v.
57 Use verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard output.
60 Use Kerberos authentication instead of simple authentication. It is
61 assumed that you already have a valid ticket granting ticket.
63 must be compiled with KERBEROS defined for this option to have effect.
66 Same as \-k, but only does step 1 of the kerberos bind. This is useful
67 when connecting to a slapd and there is no x500dsa.hostname principal
68 registered with your kerberos servers.
71 Continuous operation mode. Errors are reported, but ldapmodify
72 will continue with modifications. The default is to exit after
76 Set the LDAP debugging level to \fIdebuglevel\fP.
79 compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect.
82 Read the entry modification information from \fIfile\fP instead of from
83 standard input or the command-line.
86 Use \fIbinddn\fP to bind to the LDAP directory. \fIbinddn\fP should be
87 a string-represented DN as defined in RFC 1779.
90 Prompt for simple authentication.
91 This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line.
94 Use \fIpasswd\fP as the password for simple authentication.
97 Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running.
100 Specify an alternate TCP port where the ldap server is listening.
102 If the command-line arguments \fIdn\fP and \fIrdn\fP are given, \fIrdn\fP
103 will replace the RDN of the entry specified by the DN, \fIdn\fP.
105 Otherwise, the contents of \fIfile\fP (or standard input if
108 flag is given) should consist of one or more entries.
111 Distinguished Name (DN)
112 Relative Distinguished Name (RDN)
115 One or more blank lines may be used to separate each DN/RDN pair.
117 Assuming that the file
119 exists and has the contents:
122 cn=Modify Me, o=University of Michigan, c=US
129 ldapmodify -r -f /tmp/entrymods
132 will change the RDN of the "Modify Me" entry from "Modify Me" to
133 "The New Me" and the old cn, "Modify Me" will be removed.
136 Exit status is 0 if no errors occur. Errors result in a non-zero exit
137 status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.
