.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fBldapmodify\fR utility opens a connection to an \fBLDAP\fR server, binds
and modifies or adds entries. The entry information is read from standard input
or from \fIfile\fR, specified using the \fB-f\fR option. The \fBldapadd\fR
utility is implemented as a hard link to the \fBldapmodify\fR tool. When
invoked as \fBldapadd\fR, the \fB-a\fR (add new entry) option is turned on
automatically.
.sp
.LP
Both \fBldapadd\fR and \fBldapmodify\fR reject duplicate attribute-name/value
pairs for the same entry.
.SH OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-a\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Adds new entries. The default for \fBldapmodify\fR is to modify existing
entries. If invoked as \fBldapadd\fR, this option is always set.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-A\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Non-ASCII mode: display non-ASCII values, in conjunction with the \fB-v\fR
option.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-b\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Handle binary files. The \fBldapmodify\fR tool will scan every attribute value
in the input to determine whether it is a valid file reference. If the
reference is valid, it will use the contents of the file as the attribute's
value. This option is used to input binary data, such as a JPEG image, for an
attribute. For example, the corresponding LDIF input would be: "\fB jpegPhoto:
/tmp/photo.jpg\fR" The \fBldapmodify\fR tool also supports the LDIF \fB:<
\fIURL\fR\fR notation for directly including file contents.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-B\fR\ \fIbaseDN\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n

providing bulk import functionality.
.RE

.na
\fB\fB-c\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Specifies continuous operation mode. Errors are reported, but \fBldapmodify\fR

reporting an error.

example:
.sp
.in +2
.nf

When using the command on the same host as the directory server, you can use
the server's own certificate database. For example:
.sp

servers that do not support v3.
.RE

.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-W\fR \fIpassword\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Specify the password for the client's key database given in the \fB-P\fR
option. This option is required for certificate-based client authentication.
Specifying \fIpassword\fR on the command line has security issues because the
password can be seen by others on the system by means of the \fBps\fR command.
Use the \fB-j\fR instead to specify the password from the file. This option is
mutually exclusive of \fB-j\fR.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-w\fR \fIpasswd\fR \fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Use \fIpasswd\fR as the password for authentication to the directory. When you
use \fB-w\fR\fI passwd\fR to specify the password to be used for
authentication, the password is visible to other users of the system by means
of the \fBps\fR command, in script files or in shell history. If you use either
the \fBldapmodify\fR command or the \fBldapadd\fR command without this option,
the command will prompt for the password and read it from standard in. When
used without the \fB-w\fR option, the password will not be visible to other
users.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-Y\fR \fIproxyid\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Specify the proxy DN (proxied authorization id) to use for the modify
operation, usually in double quotes ("") for the shell.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-Z\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Specify that SSL be used to provide certificate-based client authentication.
This option requires the \fB-N\fR and SSL password and any other of the SSL
options needed to identify the certificate and the key database.
