NAME
     ldapwhoami - LDAP who am i? tool

SYNOPSIS
     ldapwhoami   [-V[V]]   [-d debuglevel]  [-n]  [-v]  [-x]  [-D binddn]  [-W]
     [-w passwd]     [-y passwdfile]	 [-H ldapuri]	  [-e [!]ext[=extparam]]
     [-E [!]ext[=extparam]]  [-o opt[=optparam]]  [-O security-properties]  [-I]
     [-Q] [-N] [-U authcid] [-R realm] [-X authzid] [-Y mech] [-Z[Z]]

DESCRIPTION
     ldapwhoami implements the LDAP "Who Am I?" extended operation.

     ldapwhoami opens a connection to an LDAP  server,	binds,	and  performs  a
     whoami operation.

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.  ldapwhoami must be com-
	    piled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect.

     -n     Show what would be done, but don't actually perform the whoami oper-
	    ation.  Useful for debugging in conjunction with -v.

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

     -x     Use simple authentication instead of SASL.

     -D binddn
	    Use  the  Distinguished  Name  binddn to bind to the LDAP directory.
	    For SASL binds, the server is expected to ignore this value.

     -W     Prompt for simple authentication.  This is used instead of	specify-
	    ing 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 au-
	    thentication.

     -H ldapuri
	    Specify URI(s) referring to the  ldap  server(s);  only  the  proto-
	    col/host/port fields are allowed; a list of URI, separated by white-
	    space or commas is expected.

     -e [!]ext[=extparam]

     -E [!]ext[=extparam]

	    Specify  general  extensions  with -e and whoami extensions with -E.
	    '!' indicates criticality.

	    General extensions:
	      [!]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)

	    WhoAmI extensions:
	      (none)

     -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 option that can be passed here, check ldap.conf(5) for details.

     -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 de-
	    pends 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:<user-
	    name>

     -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.

     -Z[Z]  Issue StartTLS (Transport Layer Security) extended operation. If you
	    use -ZZ, the command will require the operation to be successful.

EXAMPLE
	 ldapwhoami -x -D "cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com" -W
