SLAPAUTH(8C) SLAPAUTH(8C)
slapauth - Check a list of string-represented IDs for LDAP
authc/authz
SBINDIR/slapauth [-d debug-level] [-f slapd.conf] [-F confdir]
[-M mech] [-o option[=value]] [-R realm] [-U authcID] [-v]
[-X authzID] ID [...]
Slapauth is used to check the behavior of the slapd in mapping
identities for authentication and authorization purposes, as
specified in slapd.conf(5). It opens the slapd.conf(5)
configuration file or the slapd-config(5) backend, reads in the
authz-policy/olcAuthzPolicy and authz-regexp/olcAuthzRegexp
directives, and then parses the ID list given on the command-line.
-d debug-level
enable debugging messages as defined by the specified
debug-level; see slapd(8) for details.
-f slapd.conf
specify an alternative slapd.conf(5) file.
-F confdir
specify a config directory. If both -f and -F are
specified, the config file will be read and converted to
config directory format and written to the specified
directory. If neither option is specified, an attempt to
read the default config directory will be made before
trying to use the default config file. If a valid config
directory exists then the default config file is ignored.
-M mech
specify a mechanism.
-o option[=value]
Specify an option with a(n optional) value. Possible
generic options/values are:
syslog=<subsystems> (see `-s' in slapd(8))
syslog-level=<level> (see `-S' in slapd(8))
syslog-user=<user> (see `-l' in slapd(8))
-R realm
specify a realm.
-U authcID
specify an ID to be used as authcID throughout the test
session. If present, and if no authzID is given, the IDs
in the ID list are treated as authzID.
-X authzID
specify an ID to be used as authzID throughout the test
session. If present, and if no authcID is given, the IDs
in the ID list are treated as authcID. If both authcID and
authzID are given via command line switch, the ID list
cannot be present.
-v enable verbose mode.
The command
SBINDIR/slapauth -f /ETCDIR/slapd.conf -v \
-U bjorn -X u:bjensen
tests whether the user bjorn can assume the identity of the user
bjensen provided the directives
authz-policy from
authz-regexp "^uid=([^,]+).*,cn=auth$"
"ldap:///dc=example,dc=net??sub?uid=$1"
are defined in slapd.conf(5).
