NAME
       ldapwhoami - LDAP who am i? tool

SYNOPSIS
       ldapwhoami  [-n]  [-v] [-z] [-d debuglevel] [-D binddn] [-W] [-w passwd] [-y passwdfile] [-H ldapuri]
       [-h ldaphost]  [-p ldapport]  [-O security-properties]  [-I]  [-Q]   [-U authcid]   [-R realm]   [-x]
       [-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
       -n     Show  what  would be done, but don't actually perform the whoami operation.  Useful for debug-ging debugging
              ging in conjunction with -v.

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

       -d debuglevel
              Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel.   ldapwhoami  must  be  compiled  with  LDAP_DEBUG
              defined for this option to have any effect.

       -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 com-mand command
              mand 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 ldapuri
              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.

       -h ldaphost
              Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running.  Deprecated in favor of -H.

       -p ldapport
              Specify  an alternate TCP port where the ldap server is listening.  Deprecated in favor of -H.

       -P 2|3 Specify the LDAP protocol version to use.

       -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.

       -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. 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.

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