NAME
      ldapmodrdn - ldap modify entry RDN tool
 


SYNOPSIS
      ldapmodrdn [ -r ]  [ -n ]  [ -v ]  [ -c ]  [ -d debuglevel ]
      [   -D binddn   ]    [  -w passwd  ]   [  -h ldaphost  ]   [
      -M authentication ]  [ -p ldapport ]  [  -f file  ]   [   dn
      rdn  ]
 


DESCRIPTION
      ldapmodrdn opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds,  and
      modifies  the  RDN of entries. The entry information is read
      from standard input, from file through the  use  of  the  -f
      option, or from the command-line pair dn and rdn.
 


OPTIONS
      -r    Remove old RDN values from the entry. By default,  old
            values are kept.
 
      -n    Show what would be done,  but  don't  actually  change
            entries.   Useful  in   conjunction with -v for debug-
            ging.
 
      -v    Use verbose mode, with diagnostics written to standard
            output.
 
      -c    Continuous operation mode. Errors  are  reported,  but
            ldapmodify continues with   modifications. The default
            is to exit after reporting an error.
 
      -d debuglevel
            Set  the  LDAP  debugging  level.  Useful  values   of
            debuglevel for ldapmodrdn are:
 
 
            1     Trace
 
            2     Packets
 
            4     Arguments
 
            32    Filters
 
            128   Access control
 
            To request more than one category of debugging  infor-
            mation,  add the masks. For  example, to request trace
            and filter information, specify a debuglevel of 33.
 
 
      -f file
            Read the  entry  modification  information  from  file

            instead of from standard input or the command-line.
 
      -D binddn
            Use the distinguished  name  binddn  to  bind  to  the
            directory.
 
      -w passwd
            Use passwd as the password for authentication  to  the
            directory.
 
      -h ldaphost
            Specify an alternate host on which the slapd server is
            running.
 
      -M authentication
            Specifies the authentication mechanism used to bind to
            the  directory.  This  option can have the value CRAM-
            MD5. The bind DN and bind password are mandatory  with
            this option.
 
      -p ldapport
            Specify an alternate TCP port where the  slapd  server
            is listening.
 
   Input Format
      If the command-line arguments dn  and  rdn  are  given,  rdn
      replaces the RDN of the entry specified by the DN, dn.
 
      Otherwise, the contents of file (or standard input if the  -
      f  option is not specified) must consist of one or more pair
      of lines:
 
          Distinguished Name (DN)
          Relative Distinguished Name (RDN)
 
      Use one or more blank lines to separate each DN/RDN pair.
 
 EXAMPLES
      The file /tmp/entrymods contains:
 
          cn=Modify Me, o=XYZ, c=US
          cn=The New Me
 
      The command:
 
          example%  ldapmodify -r -f /tmp/entrymods
 
      changes the RDN of the "Modify Me" entry from "Modify Me" to
      "The New Me" and the old cn, "Modify Me" is removed.
