NAME

       ldapexop - issue LDAP extended operations

SYNOPSIS

       ldapexop  [-V[V]]  [-d debuglevel]  [-n]  [-v] [-f file] [-x] [-D binddn] [-W] [-w passwd]
       [-y passwdfile]   [-H URI]   [-e [!]ext[=extparam]]   [-o opt[=optparam]]    [-O security-
       properties]  [-I]  [-Q] [-N] [-U authcid] [-R realm] [-X authzid] [-Y mech] [-Z[Z]] {oid |
       oid:data | oid::b64data | whoami | cancel cancel-id | refresh DN [ttl]}

DESCRIPTION

       ldapexop issues the LDAP extended operation  specified  by  oid  or  one  of  the  special
       keywords whoami, cancel, or refresh.

       Additional  data  for  the  extended  operation  can be passed to the server using data or
       base-64 encoded as b64data in the case of oid, or using the additional parameters  in  the
       case of the specially named extended operations above.

       Please  note that ldapexop behaves differently for the same extended operation when it was
       given as an OID or as a specially named operation:

       Calling ldapexop with the OID of the whoami (RFC 4532) extended operation

         ldapexop [<options>] 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.1.11.3

       yields

         # extended operation response
         data:: <base64 encoded response data>

       while calling it with the keyword whoami

         ldapexop [<options>] whoami

       results in

         dn:<client's identity>

OPTIONS

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

       -d debuglevel
              Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel.

       -n     Show what would be done  but  don't  actually  do  it.   Useful  for  debugging  in
              conjunction with -v.

       -v     Run in verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard output.

       -f file
              Read operations from file.

       -x     Use simple authentication instead of SASL.

       -D binddn
              Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the LDAP directory.

       -W     Prompt  for simple authentication.  This is used instead of specifying the password
              on the command line.

       -w passwd
              Use passwd as the password for simple authentication.

       -y passwdfile
              Use complete contents of passwdfile as the password for simple authentication.

       -H URI 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]
              Specify general extensions.  ´!´ indicates criticality.
                [!]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)

       -o opt[=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 security-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.

       -U authcid
              Specify  the  authentication  ID  for  SASL bind. The form of the ID depends on the
              actual SASL mechanism used.

       -R realm
              Specify the realm of authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the realm depends
              on the actual SASL mechanism used.

       -X authzid
              Specify  the  requested authorization ID for SASL bind.  authzid must be one of the
              following formats: dn:<distinguished name> or u:<username>

       -Y mech
              Specify the SASL mechanism to be used for authentication.  Without this option, the
              program will choose the best mechanism the server knows.

       -Z[Z]  Issue  StartTLS  (Transport  Layer  Security)  extended operation.  Giving it twice
              (-ZZ) will require the operation to be successful.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Exit status is zero if no errors occur.  Errors result in a non-zero  exit  status  and  a
       diagnostic message being written to standard error.
