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]  [-h ldaphost]  [-p ldapport]
       [-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 specialliy named opera-
       tion:

       Calling ldapexop with the OID of the whoami (RFC 4532) extended  opera-
       tion

         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 informa-
              tion 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 spec-
              ifying 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  proto-
              col/host/port  fields  are  allowed; a list of URI, separated by
              whitespace or commas is expected.

       -h ldaphost
              Specify the host on which the ldap server  is  running.   Depre-
              cated in favor of -H.

       -p ldapport
              Specify the TCP port where the ldap server is listening.  Depre-
              cated in favor of -H.

       -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
                abandon,cancel,ignore (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel,
                or ignores response; if critical, doesn't wait for SIGINT.
                not really controls)

       -o opt[=optparam]

              Specify general options.

              General options:
                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.  With-
              out 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  success-
              ful.

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.
