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 optionally specified user]. If the new password is not
    specified on the command 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.
  - -V[V]
- Print version info. If -VV is given, only the version information
      is printed.
- -d debuglevel
- Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldappasswd must
      be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any
    effect.
- -n
- Do not set password. (Can be useful when used in conjunction with
      -v or -d)
- -v
- Increase the verbosity of output. Can be specified multiple times.
- -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.
- -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.
- -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 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.
- -H ldapuri
- Specify URI(s) referring to the ldap server(s); only the
      protocol/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 listening.
      Deprecated in favor of -H.
- -e [!]ext[=extparam]
- -E [!]ext[=extparam]
- 
    Specify general extensions with -e and passwd modify
        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)
    Passwd Modify 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 successful

  ldap_start_tls_s(3)
