NAME

       slapauth - Check a list of string-represented IDs for LDAP authc/authz

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/slapauth [-d debug-level] [-f slapd.conf] [-F confdir] [-M mech] [-o option[=value]] [-R realm]
       [-U authcID] [-v] [-X authzID] ID [...]

DESCRIPTION

       Slapauth is used to check the behavior  of  the  slapd  in  mapping  identities  for  authentication  and
       authorization  purposes, as specified in slapd.conf(5).  It opens the slapd.conf(5) configuration file or
       the slapd-config(5) backend, reads in  the  authz-policy/olcAuthzPolicy  and  authz-regexp/olcAuthzRegexp
       directives, and then parses the ID list given on the command-line.

OPTIONS

       -d debug-level
              enable debugging messages as defined by the specified debug-level; see slapd(8) for details.

       -f slapd.conf
              specify an alternative slapd.conf(5) file.

       -F confdir
              specify  a  config  directory.   If both -f and -F are specified, the config file will be read and
              converted to config directory format and written to the specified directory.  If neither option is
              specified,  an  attempt to read the default config directory will be made before trying to use the
              default config file. If a valid config directory exists then the default config file is ignored.

       -M mech
              specify a mechanism.

       -o option[=value]
              Specify an option with a(n optional) value.  Possible generic options/values are:

                     syslog=<subsystems>  (see `-s' in slapd(8))
                     syslog-level=<level> (see `-S' in slapd(8))
                     syslog-user=<user>   (see `-l' in slapd(8))

       -R realm
              specify a realm.

       -U authcID
              specify an ID to be used as authcID throughout the test session.  If present, and if no authzID is
              given, the IDs in the ID list are treated as authzID.

       -X authzID
              specify an ID to be used as authzID throughout the test session.  If present, and if no authcID is
              given, the IDs in the ID list are treated as authcID.  If both authcID and authzID are  given  via
              command line switch, the ID list cannot be present.

       -v     enable verbose mode.

EXAMPLES

       The command

            /usr/sbin/slapauth -f //etc/ldap/slapd.conf -v \
                   -U bjorn -X u:bjensen

       tests whether the user bjorn can assume the identity of the user bjensen provided the directives

            authz-policy from
            authz-regexp "^uid=([^,]+).*,cn=auth$"
                 "ldap:///dc=example,dc=net??sub?uid=$1"

       are defined in slapd.conf(5).
