DESCRIPTION
       ldappasswd  is  a tool to set the password of an LDAP user.  ldappasswd
       uses the LDAPv3 Password Modify (RFC 3062) extended operation.

       ldappasswd sets the password of associated with the user [or an option‐
       ally specified user].  If the new password is not specified on the com‐
       mand line and the user doesn't enable prompting,	 the  server  will  be
       asked to generate a password for the user.

       ldappasswd  is  neither	designed  nor intended to be a replacement for
       passwd(1) and should not be installed as such.

OPTIONS
       -A     Prompt for old password.	This is used instead of specifying the
	      password on the command line.

       -a oldPasswd
	      Set the old password to oldPasswd.

       -t oldPasswdFile
	      Set the old password to the contents of oldPasswdFile.

       -x     Use simple authentication instead of SASL.

       -D binddn
	      Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the LDAP directory.

       -d debuglevel
	      Set  the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel.  ldappasswd must be
	      compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this	 option	 to  have  any
	      effect.

       -H ldapuri
	      Specify URI(s) referring to the ldap server(s).

       -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.

       -n     Do  not  set  password.  (Can be useful when used in conjunction
	      with -v or -d)

       -S     Prompt for new password.	This is used instead of specifying the
	      password on the command line.

       -s newPasswd
	      Set the new password to newPasswd.

       -T newPasswdFile
	      Set the new password to the contents of newPasswdFile.

       -v     Increase	the  verbosity	of  output.  Can be specified multiple
	      times.

       -W     Prompt for bind password.	 This is used  instead	of  specifying
	      the password on the command line.

       -w passwd
	      Use passwd as the password to bind with.

       -y passwdfile
	      Use  complete  contents of passwdfile as the password for simple
	      authentication.

       -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.

       -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:<distinguishedname>  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
