This chapter briefly describes the LDAP directory tools used to search, add, modify or delete entries in an LDAP directory and NIS+ to LDAP migration scripts. It includes the following sections:
•“The ldappasswd Command” on page 39 describes the command that changes passwords in your directory.
•“LDAP Directory Tools” on page 40 briefly describes the tools ldapsearch, ldapmodify, and ldapdelete.
•“NIS+ to LDAP Migration Scripts” on page 44 describes the shell and perl scripts that migrate your NIS+ data to your LDAP directory.
The ldappasswd Command
This section describes the ldappasswd command and its parameters.
The ldappasswd program, installed in /opt/ldapux/bin, allows users to change their passwords in the directory. Changing a user’s password with ldappasswd marks the cache entry for that user as stale if caching is enabled. ldappasswd assumes an LDAP directory server that supports {crypt} format. (For more information, see passwd(1) and crypt(3C).)
Syntax
ldappasswd [options]
where options can be any of the following:
-b basedn
specifies basedn as the base distinguished name of where to start searching. If ypldapd is running, then this is not required.
-h host
specifies host as the LDAP server name or IP address. If ypldapd is running, then this is not required.
