I have an LDIF file that contains a bunch of test users.
I would like to change the password for some of these users and was wondering what would be the best way to do so.
Use ldapmodify with LDIF, for example:
ldapmodify -h hostname -p port -D dn -w password <<!
dn: uid=user,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: userPassword
userPassword: new-password
!
or specify a filename:
ldapmodify -c -a -f file.ldif -h hostname -p port -D dn -w password
Of course, use the correct attribute names, distinguished names, and so forth. The distinguished name used for the bind of the ldapmodify tool must have access rights to modify the password of the distinguished name specified in the LDIF.

I'm new to openLdap , I am setting up a module for monitoring using on-line configuration (OLC) based on this guide : https://blog.kmp.or.at/monitoring-openldap/.
i use ldapmodify as bellow :
ldapmodify -x -H ldap:/// -D "cn=config" -W -f module.ldif
result is :
modifying entry "cn=module{0},cn=config"
ldap_modify: No such object (32)
content of module.ldif is :
dn: cn=module{0},cn=config
changetype: modify
add: olcModuleLoad
olcModuleLoad: {1}back_monitor
i understand that i can't modify on non-existing entry so i tried to add a new entry for DN = (cn=module,cn=config).
i tried to create new dn using :
dn: cn=module,cn=config
objectClass: olcModuleList
cn: module
olcModulepath: /etc/openldap/libexec/openldap
but i got this error
ldap_add: Invalid syntax (21)
additional info: objectClass: value #0 invalid per syntax
Do i really need to create this DN , or it must be created during setup.
No, this entry is created during setup.
It seems you missed to setup slapd.d directory for online configuration (OLC) :
slapcat -f /path/to/slapd.conf -F /path/to/slapd.d
Also, choose the appropriate SASL mechanism for authentication :
Either use EXTERNAL mechanism with ldapi:/// transport (relies on the client process uid and gid via Unix sockets) :
`ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f module.ldif`
Or LDAP (default) with options -D and -W for binding :
` ldapmodify -x -H ldap://example.com -D cn=manager,dc=example,dc=com -W -f module.ldif`
I have a LDIF file with a test user and I would like to change the password.
I used the ldapmodify command:
ldapmodify -h localhost -D uid=testuser,ou=users,dc=mytest,dc=org -w <password> <<!
dn: uid=testuser,ou=users,dc=mytest,dc=org
changetype: modify
replace: userPassword
userPassword: myNewPassword
!
modifying entry "uid=testuser,ou=users,dc=mytest,dc=org"
It's looks like working
But when I open my file.ldif, the password has don't change and ldapsearch command don't work.
ldapsearch -x -h localhost -D uid=testuser,ou=users,dc=mytest,dc=org -w myNewPassword -b uid=testuser,ou=users,dc=mytest,dc=org
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)
Thank you for the help
I am new to working with LDAP, and my ultimate goal is to offer LDAP single sign-on in a web app. In order to achieve this, I'm trying to run ldapwhoami, but I'm running into issues. I am able to run other commands, like ldapsearch and ldapadd.
I'm running OpenLdap on Mac OS High Sierra.
My relevant slapd.conf looks like this:
access to *
by self write
by * read
by anonymous auth
database ldif
suffix "dc=test,dc=com"
directory openldap-data
rootdn "cn=admin,dc=test,dc=com"
## rootpw = secret
rootpw {SSHA}fFjKcZb4cfOAcwSjJer8nCGOEVRUnwCC
I then added a user with ldapadd -x -w secret -f shanson.ldif, where shanson.ldif looks like:
dn: cn=shanson,dc=test,dc=com
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
sn: Hanson
uid: shanson
cn: shanson
userPassword: secret
I am successfully able to search for and find this new user with ldapsearch -x "(cn=shanson)".
Now, I am trying to verify the user's credentials using ldapwhoami, and I keep getting an error:
> ldapwhoami -x -D cn=shanson,dc=test,dc=com -w secret
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)
The same operation with my root admin user succeeds:
> ldapwhoami -x -D cn=admin,dc=test,dc=com -w secret
dn:cn=admin,dc=test,dc=com
I'm sure I'm just making a simple mistake or not understanding what I'm doing, but I don't really know where else to look right now for answers. Thanks!
It seems to have had something to do with the plain text password I set up. I installed Jxplorer and manually updated my user's password and hashed it with MD5, and now the ldapwhoami command works. If I set the password as plain text in JXplorer, ldapwhoami still does not work. Beyond that, I'm not entirely sure what I was doing wrong.
For me, my dn was wrong.
I did an ldapsearch with admin credentials to get the dn: uid=xxx,ou=xxx,dc=xxx,dc=xxx,dc=xxx
Then I did an ldapwhoami -x -D "uid=xxx,ou=xxx,dc=xxx,dc=xxx,dc=xxx" -w secret and it worked fine.
Here is my LDAP ORG Structure:
I created user with first, last name with password. But it is not working when am trying to connect using jdbc. Error says invalid credentials. Then I tried ldapsearch as follows:
I followed this process for users and group creation:
root#ip:/home# ldapwhoami
SASL/DIGEST-MD5 authentication started
Please enter your password:
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Invalid credentials (49)
additional info: SASL(-13): user not found: no secret in database
root#ip:/# ldapsearch -x -LLL -h ip -D username -w password -b"cn=admin,dc=ivhdev,dc=local" -s sub "(objectClass=*)" "givenName=username*"
ldap_bind: Invalid DN syntax (34)
additional info: invalid DN
Please suggest/correct me, if am passing the right info in DN syntax. I am unable to validate the user credentials with their name and password.
The -D option takes the DN for logging in to your LDAP server.
The -b option takes the search base in your LDAP tree where you want to search for the user's given name.
So, your ldapsearch command becomes:
ldapsearch -x -LLL -h ip -D 'cn=admin,dc=ivhdev,dc=local' -w password -b 'dc=users,dc=local' -s sub '(objectClass=*)' 'givenName=username*'
If you use the Apache Directory Studio (http://directory.apache.org/studio/) you can see the actual ldapsearch commands used by the application. Maybe this is useful for anyone.
We have 389-ds directory with many users in a particular group. Does anyone know how I can delete a user from a group called ' clients ' using ldapmodify or ldapdelete command line tools?
Thank You
Using ldapmodify:
ldapmodify -h ldapserver -D "cn=admin" -w password -f modGroup.ldif
where modGroup.ldif is:
dn: cn=clients, o=Your Company
changetype: modify
delete: member
member: cn=user1896576, o=Your Company
