DESCRIPTION
       ldapmodrdn  is  a  shell-accessible  interface  to  the	ldap_rename(3)
       library call.

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

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

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

       -r     Remove  old  RDN	values from the entry.	Default is to keep old
	      values.

       -s newsup
	      Specify a new superior entry. (I.e., move the target  entry  and
	      make  it	a child of the new superior.)  This option is not sup‐
	      ported in LDAPv2.

       -c     Continuous operation mode.  Errors  are  reported,  but ldapmod‐
	      rdn  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 or the command-line.

       -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  modrdn  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)

	      Modrdn extensions:
		(none)

       -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
       If the command-line arguments dn and rdn are given,  rdn	 will  replace
       the RDN of the entry specified by the DN, dn.

       Otherwise,  the	contents  of  file (or standard input if no -f flag is
       given) should consist of one or more entries.

	   Distinguished Name (DN)
	   Relative Distinguished Name (RDN)

       One or more blank lines may be used to separate each DN/RDN pair.

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

	   cn=Modify Me,dc=example,dc=com
	   cn=The New Me

       the command:

	   ldapmodrdn -r -f /tmp/entrymods

       will change the RDN of the "Modify Me" entry from "Modify Me"  to  "The
       New Me" and the old cn, "Modify Me" will be removed.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Exit  status is 0 if no errors occur.  Errors result in a non-zero exit
       status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.
