NAME
       ldapcompare - LDAP compare tool

SYNOPSIS
       ldapcompare   [-V[V]]  [-d debuglevel]  [-n]  [-v]  [-z]	 [-M[M]]  [-x]
       [-D binddn] [-W] [-w passwd] [-y passwdfile] [-H ldapuri] [-h ldaphost]
       [-p ldapport]  [-P {2|3}] [-e [!]ext[=extparam]] [-E [!]ext[=extparam]]
       [-o opt[=optparam]] [-O security-properties] [-I] [-Q]  [-N]  [-U auth‐
       cid]   [-R realm]  [-X authzid]	[-Y mech]  [-Z[Z]]  DN	{attr:value  |
       attr::b64value}

DESCRIPTION
       ldapcompare is a shell-accessible interface to the  ldap_compare_ext(3)
       library call.

       ldapcompare opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and performs a
       compare using specified parameters.   The DN should be a	 distinguished
       name  in the directory.	Attr should be a known attribute.  If followed
       by one colon, the assertion value should be provided as a  string.   If
       followed	 by  two colons, the base64 encoding of the value is provided.
       The result code of the compare is provided as the exit code and, unless
       ran  with  -z, the program prints TRUE, FALSE, or UNDEFINED on standard
       output.

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

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

       -v     Run in verbose mode, with many diagnostics written  to  standard
	      output.

       -z     Run  in  quiet  mode,  no output is written.  You must check the
	      return status.  Useful in shell scripts.

       -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.	Note  that  complete means that any leading or
	      trailing whitespaces, including  newlines,  will	be  considered
	      part  of	the password and, unlike other software, they will not
	      be stripped.  As a consequence, passwords	 stored	 in  files  by
	      commands like echo(1) will not behave as expected, since echo(1)
	      by default appends a trailing newline to the echoed string.  The
	      recommended portable way to store a cleartext password in a file
	      for use with this option is to use slappasswd(8)	with  {CLEART‐
	      EXT} as hash and the option -n.

       -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 compare 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)

	      Compare extensions:
		!dontUseCopy

       -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.

EXAMPLES
	   ldapcompare "uid=babs,dc=example,dc=com"  sn:Jensen
	   ldapcompare "uid=babs,dc=example,dc=com"  sn::SmVuc2Vu
       are all equivalent.

LIMITATIONS
       Requiring  the  value  be  passed  on  the command line is limiting and
       introduces some security concerns.  The command should support a mecha‐
       nism to specify the location (file name or URL) to read the value from.
