The ldappasswd Command
This section describes the ldappasswd command and its parameters. The
ldappasswd command, installed in /opt/ldapux/bin, is needed on clients
that use an LDAP directory replica because the replica cannot be
modified by the passwd(1) command, or any other command.
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.
-h host
specifies host as the LDAP server name or IP address.
-c generates an encrypted password on the client. Use
this parameter for directories that do not automatically
encrypt passwords. The default is to send the new
password in plain text to the directory. Netscape
Directory Server 4.x for HP-UX supports automatic
encryption of passwords.
-v prints the software version and exits.
-p port
specifies port as the LDAP server TCP port number.
-D binddn
specifies binddn as the bind distinguished name.
-w passwd
specifies passwd as the bind password (for simple
authentication).
-l login specifies login as the uid of the account to change;
defaults to the current user.
