ldapmodrdn :: LDAP Shell Commands
Description
Ldapmodrdn opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds and modifies the rdn of entries. The entry information is read from standard input, from a file (with -f option) or from the command-line pair dn rdn
Syntax
| ldapmodrdn |
[-r] [-n] [-v] [-k] [-K] [-c] [-M[M]] [-d debuglevel] [-D binddn] [-W] [-w passwd] [-y passwdfile] [-H ldapuri] [-h ldaphost] [-p ldapport] [-P 2|3] [-O security-properties] [-I] [-Q] [-U authcid] [-R realm] [-x] [-X authzid] [-Y mech] [-Z[Z]] [-f file] [dn rdn] |
| -r |
Remove old RDN values from the entry. Default is to keep old values. |
|
-c |
Continuous operation mode. If an error is found it is reported, but ldapmodrdn will continue reading pairs dn-rdn. The default is to exit after reporting an error. |
| -h ldaphost | Specifies an alternate host on which the LDAP server is running |
| -p ldapport | Specifies the TCP port where the LDAP server is listening |
| -D binddn | Binddn is the distinguished name used to bind to the LDAP server |
| -w passwd | Use passwd as the password for simple authentication |
| -f file | Read the pairs dn - rdn from file. |
| dn rdn | Distinguished name of the entry and new rdn |
Example
The following command:
ldapmodrdn -r -c -h 10.63.3.200 -p 1389
-D "cn=James Bond,ou=people, dc=mycompany,dc=com"
-w drymartini "id=47,ou=people, dc=mycompany,dc=com"
"id=60"
-D "cn=James Bond,ou=people, dc=mycompany,dc=com"
-w drymartini "id=47,ou=people, dc=mycompany,dc=com"
"id=60"
Will modify the entry "id=47,ou=people..." changing the id from 47 to 60 and deleting the old value. The bind to the LDAP server is done as "cn=James Bond..." and the server is installed in host 10.63.3.200 listening on port 1389.
