63 is a tool to set the password of an LDAP user.
65 uses the LDAPv3 Password Modify (RFC 3062) extended operation.
68 sets the password of associated with the user [or an optionally
72 password is not specified on the command line and the user
73 doesn't enable prompting, the server will be asked to generate
74 a password for the user.
77 is neither designed nor intended to be a replacement for
79 and should not be installed as such.
83 Prompt for old password.
84 This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line.
87 Set the old password to \fIoldPasswd\fP.
89 .BI \-t \ oldPasswdFile
90 Set the old password to the contents of \fIoldPasswdFile\fP.
93 Use simple authentication instead of SASL.
96 Use the Distinguished Name \fIbinddn\fP to bind to the LDAP directory.
97 For SASL binds, the server is expected to ignore this value.
100 Set the LDAP debugging level to \fIdebuglevel\fP.
102 must be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect.
105 Specify URI(s) referring to the ldap server(s); only the protocol/host/port
106 fields are allowed; a list of URI, separated by whitespace or commas
110 Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running.
111 Deprecated in favor of \fB\-H\fP.
114 Specify an alternate TCP port where the ldap server is listening.
115 Deprecated in favor of \fB\-H\fP.
118 Do not set password. (Can be useful when used in conjunction with
119 \fB\-v\fP or \fB\-d\fP)
122 Prompt for new password.
123 This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line.
126 Set the new password to \fInewPasswd\fP.
128 .BI \-T \ newPasswdFile
129 Set the new password to the contents of \fInewPasswdFile\fP.
132 Increase the verbosity of output. Can be specified multiple times.
135 Prompt for bind password.
136 This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line.
139 Use \fIpasswd\fP as the password to bind with.
142 Use complete contents of \fIpasswdfile\fP as the password for
143 simple authentication.
145 .BI \-O \ security-properties
146 Specify SASL security properties.
148 .BR \-e \ [ ! ] \fIext\fP [ =\fIextparam\fP ]
150 .BR \-E \ [ ! ] \fIext\fP [ =\fIextparam\fP ]
152 Specify general extensions with \fB\-e\fP and passwd modify extensions with \fB\-E\fP.
153 \'\fB!\fP\' indicates criticality.
157 [!]assert=<filter> (an RFC 4515 Filter)
158 !authzid=<authzid> ("dn:<dn>" or "u:<user>")
159 [!]bauthzid (RFC 3829 authzid control)
160 [!]chaining[=<resolve>[/<cont>]]
164 [!]postread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
165 [!]preread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
167 sessiontracking[=<username>]
168 abandon,cancel,ignore (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel,
169 or ignores response; if critical, doesn't wait for SIGINT.
173 Passwd Modify extensions:
179 Enable SASL Interactive mode. Always prompt. Default is to prompt
183 Enable SASL Quiet mode. Never prompt.
186 Specify the authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the ID
187 depends on the actual SASL mechanism used.
190 Specify the realm of authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the realm
191 depends on the actual SASL mechanism used.
194 Specify the requested authorization ID for SASL bind.
196 must be one of the following formats:
197 .BI dn: "<distinguished name>"
199 .BI u: <username>\fP.
202 Specify the SASL mechanism to be used for authentication. If it's not
203 specified, the program will choose the best mechanism the server knows.
206 Issue StartTLS (Transport Layer Security) extended operation. If you use
207 \fB\-ZZ\fP, the command will require the operation to be successful
