NAME

ldapentry - simple add, modify, and delete entries in an LDAP directory

SYNOPSIS

ldapentry {-a | -d | -m}[

-D login][-b base][-h host ][-p port ][

-s scope ][-f][-v]

{service key | dn}

DESCRIPTION

ldapentry is a script that allows administrators to add, modify, and delete entries in an LDAP direc-

tory. The add and modify functions open an entry into an editor so knowledge of the LDIF (RFC2849)

syntax is required.

This manpage describes the use of

ldapentry, including the command line, environment variables,

proﬁle support, and resource ﬁles.

Arguments

ldapentry requires these arguments:

{

-a | -d | -m}

Speciﬁes the ldapentry operation to be performed. One of these operations must be speciﬁed:

-a Adds a new entry to the directory. An LDIF template will be read into an editor for the

entry to be added. The new entry’s location in the directory will be determined by the

LDAP_BASEDN variable (if deﬁned), by the template, or the location described in the ser-

vice descriptors in the LDAP conﬁguration proﬁle.

See Templates section below for information about the templates.

-d Deletes an entry from the directory.

-m Modiﬁes an existing the directory entry. The entry will be sent into a vi

editor in the LDIF

format for the user to modify.

{service key | dn}

ldapentry requires either service key or dn, where

service Name of the service set that will determine the type of entry to edit, where service can be

one of the following:

{

protocols | printers }

key Entry’s common name or UID.

dn Full distinguished name of the entry.

Options

ldapentry supports the following options. These options are not required because some of them may

be defaulted to the proﬁle and conﬁguration ﬁles or prompted for by ldapentry.

-b base Speciﬁes the DN of the search/insert base which deﬁnes where ldapentry starts the

search/insert for the entry.

This option is optional if the

LDAP_BASEDN variable is set. If speciﬁed, this option overwrites

the LDAP_BASEDN variable setting.

-D login Speciﬁes the distinguished name (DN) of an administrator who has the authority to add,

modify, or delete entries in the LDAP directory.

This option is optional if the

LDAP_BINDDN environment variable has been set. If speciﬁed,

this option overwrites the LDAP_BINDDN variable setting.

-f Forces command execution, with warning override.

-h host Speciﬁes the host name of the LDAP directory. If not speciﬁed, ldapentry uses the local

host.

-p port Speciﬁes the TCP port number that the LDAP directory uses. If not speciﬁed, dapentry

defaults to port 389.

-s scope Specify scope of the search, where scope can be one of the following:
