.SH DESCRIPTION
.B ldapmodify
is a shell-accessible interface to the
-.BR ldap_modify (3)
+.BR ldap_add_ext (3),
+.BR ldap_modify_ext (3),
+.BR ldap_delete_ext (3)
and
-.BR ldap_add (3)
+.BR ldap_rename (3).
library calls.
.B ldapadd
is implemented as a hard link to the ldapmodify tool. When invoked as
.B ldapadd
-the -a (add new entry) flag is turned on automatically.
+the \fB\-a\fP (add new entry) flag is turned on automatically.
.LP
.B ldapmodify
opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and modifies or adds entries.
The entry information is read from standard input or from \fIfile\fP through
-the use of the -f option.
+the use of the \fB\-f\fP option.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-a
.BR ldapadd ,
this flag is always set.
.TP
-.B \-C
-Automatically chase referrals.
-.TP
.B \-c
Continuous operation mode. Errors are reported, but
.B ldapmodify
will continue with modifications. The default is to exit after
reporting an error.
.TP
-.B \-r
-Replace existing values by default.
+.BI \-S \ file
+Add or change records which where skipped due to an error are written to \fIfile\fP
+and the error message returned by the server is added as a comment. Most useful in
+conjunction with \fB\-c\fP.
.TP
.B \-n
Show what would be done, but don't actually modify entries. Useful for
-debugging in conjunction with -v.
+debugging in conjunction with \fB\-v\fP.
.TP
.B \-v
Use verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard output.
.TP
-.B \-k
-Use Kerberos authentication instead of simple authentication. It is
-assumed that you already have a valid ticket granting ticket. You must
-compile with Kerberos support for this option to have any effect.
-.TP
-.B \-K
-Same as \-k, but only does step 1 of the Kerberos bind. This is useful
-when connecting to a slapd and there is no x500dsa.hostname principal
-registered with your Kerberos servers.
-.TP
-.B \-F
-Force application of all changes regardless of the contents of input
-lines that begin with
-.I replica:
-(by default, replica: lines are compared against the LDAP server host
-and port in use to decide if a replog record should actually be applied).
-.TP
-.B \-M[M]
+.BR \-M [ M ]
Enable manage DSA IT control.
.B \-MM
makes control critical.
.TP
.BI \-D \ binddn
Use the Distinguished Name \fIbinddn\fP to bind to the LDAP directory.
+For SASL binds, the server is expected to ignore this value.
.TP
.B \-W
Prompt for simple authentication.
.BI \-w \ passwd
Use \fIpasswd\fP as the password for simple authentication.
.TP
+.BI \-y \ passwdfile
+Use complete contents of \fIpasswdfile\fP as the password for
+simple authentication.
+.TP
.BI \-H \ ldapuri
-Specify URI(s) referring to the ldap server(s).
+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.
.TP
.BI \-h \ ldaphost
Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running.
-Deprecated in favor of -H.
+Deprecated in favor of \fB\-H\fP.
.TP
.BI \-p \ ldapport
Specify an alternate TCP port where the ldap server is listening.
-Deprecated in favor of -H.
+Deprecated in favor of \fB\-H\fP.
.TP
-.BI \-P \ 2\fR\||\|\fI3
+.BR \-P \ { 2 \||\| 3 }
Specify the LDAP protocol version to use.
.TP
.BI \-O \ security-properties
Specify SASL security properties.
.TP
+.BR \-e \ [ ! ] \fIext\fP [ =\fIextparam\fP ]
+.TP
+.BR \-E \ [ ! ] \fIext\fP [ =\fIextparam\fP ]
+
+Specify general extensions with \fB\-e\fP and modify extensions with \fB\-E\fP.
+\'\fB!\fP\' indicates criticality.
+
+General extensions:
+.nf
+ [!]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)
+.fi
+
+Modify extensions:
+.nf
+ [!]txn[=abort|commit]
+.fi
+.TP
.B \-I
Enable SASL Interactive mode. Always prompt. Default is to prompt
only as needed.
Specify the authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the ID
depends on the actual SASL mechanism used.
.TP
+.BI \-R \ realm
+Specify the realm of authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the realm
+depends on the actual SASL mechanism used.
+.TP
.BI \-X \ authzid
Specify the requested authorization ID for SASL bind.
.I authzid
must be one of the following formats:
-.B dn:\c
-.I <distinguished name>
+.BI dn: "<distinguished name>"
or
-.B u:\c
-.I <username>
+.BI u: <username>
.TP
.BI \-Y \ mech
Specify the SASL mechanism to be used for authentication. If it's not
specified, the program will choose the best mechanism the server knows.
.TP
-.B \-Z[Z]
+.BR \-Z [ Z ]
Issue StartTLS (Transport Layer Security) extended operation. If you use
.B \-ZZ\c
, the command will require the operation to be successful.
.SH INPUT FORMAT
-The contents of \fIfile\fP (or standard input if no \-f flag is given on
-the command line) should conform to the format defined in
-.BR slapd.replog (5),
-with the exceptions noted below.
-.LP
-Lines that begin with "replica:" are matched against the LDAP server host
-and port in use to decide if a particular replog record should be applied.
-Any other lines that precede the "dn:" line are ignored.
-The -F flag can be used to force
-.I ldapmodify
-to apply all of the replog changes, regardless of the presence or
-absence of any "replica:" lines.
-.LP
-If no "changetype:" line is present, the default is "add" if the -a
-flag is set (or if the program was invoked as
-.I ldapmodify)
-and "modify" otherwise.
-.LP
-If changetype is "modify" and no "add:", "replace:", or "delete:" lines
-appear, the default is "replace" if the -r flag is set and "add"
-otherwise.
-.LP
-Note that the above exceptions to the
-.BR slapd.replog (5)
-format allow
+The contents of \fIfile\fP (or standard input if no \fB\-f\fP flag is given on
+the command line) must conform to the format defined in
.BR ldif (5)
-entries to be used as input to
-.I ldapmodify
-or
-.I ldapadd.
+(LDIF as defined in RFC 2849).
