DESCRIPTION
       ldapmodify is a	shell-accessible  interface  to	 the  ldap_add_ext(3),
       ldap_modify_ext(3),  ldap_delete_ext(3)	and  ldap_rename(3).   library
       calls.  ldapadd is implemented as a hard link to the  ldapmodify	 tool.
       When  invoked as ldapadd the -a (add new entry) flag is turned on auto‐
       matically.

       ldapmodify opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and modifies or
       adds  entries.	The  entry  information is read from standard input or
       from file through the use of the -f option.

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.  ldapmodify must be
	      compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this	 option	 to  have  any
	      effect.

       -n     Show  what  would	 be  done,  but don't actually modify entries.
	      Useful for debugging in conjunction with -v.

       -v     Use verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard out‐
	      put.

       -a     Add new entries.	The default for ldapmodify is to modify exist‐
	      ing entries.  If invoked as ldapadd, this flag is always set.

       -c     Continuous operation mode.  Errors are reported, but  ldapmodify
	      will  continue with modifications.  The default is to exit after
	      reporting an error.

       -f file
	      Read the entry modification information  from  file  instead  of
	      from standard input.

       -S file
	      Add  or  change  records	which were skipped due to an error are
	      written to file and the error message returned by the server  is
	      added as a comment. Most useful in conjunction with -c.

       -M[M]  Enable manage DSA IT control.  -MM makes control critical.

       -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 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 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
	      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 listen‐
	      ing.  Deprecated in favor of -H.

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

       -e [!]ext[=extparam]

       -E [!]ext[=extparam]

	      Specify general extensions with -e and  modify  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
		abandon,cancel,ignore (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel,
		or ignores response; if critical, doesn't wait for SIGINT.
		not really controls)

	      Modify extensions:
		[!]txn[=abort|commit]

       -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.  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 suc‐
	      cessful.

INPUT FORMAT
       The contents of file (or standard input if no -f flag is given  on  the
       command	line)  must  conform to the format defined in ldif(5) (LDIF as
       defined in RFC 2849).

EXAMPLES
       Assuming that the file /tmp/entrymods exists and has the contents:

	   dn: cn=Modify Me,dc=example,dc=com
	   changetype: modify
	   replace: mail
	   mail: modme@example.com
	   -
	   add: title
	   title: Grand Poobah
	   -
	   add: jpegPhoto
	   jpegPhoto:< file:///tmp/modme.jpeg
	   -
	   delete: description
	   -

       the command:

	   ldapmodify -f /tmp/entrymods

       will replace the contents of the "Modify	 Me"  entry's  mail  attribute
       with  the value "modme@example.com", add a title of "Grand Poobah", and
       the contents of the file "/tmp/modme.jpeg" as  a	 jpegPhoto,  and  com‐
       pletely remove the description attribute.

       Assuming that the file /tmp/newentry exists and has the contents:

	   dn: cn=Barbara Jensen,dc=example,dc=com
	   objectClass: person
	   cn: Barbara Jensen
	   cn: Babs Jensen
	   sn: Jensen
	   title: the world's most famous mythical manager
	   mail: bjensen@example.com
	   uid: bjensen

       the command:

	   ldapadd -f /tmp/newentry

       will  add  a  new entry for Babs Jensen, using the values from the file
       /tmp/newentry.

       Assuming that the file /tmp/entrymods exists and has the contents:

	   dn: cn=Barbara Jensen,dc=example,dc=com
	   changetype: delete

       the command:

	   ldapmodify -f /tmp/entrymods

       will remove Babs Jensen's entry.

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.
