SLAPAUTH(8C)

NAME
slapauth - Check a list of string-represented IDs for authc/authz.

SYNOPSIS
/usr/local/sbin/slapauth [-v] [-d level] [-f slapd.conf] [-M mech] [-R realm] [-U authcID] [-X authzID] ID [...]

DESCRIPTION

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, reads in the authz-policy and authz-regexp directives, and then parses the ID list given on the command-line.

OPTIONS

-v  enable verbose mode.

-d level
    enable debugging messages as defined by the specified level.

-f slapd.conf
    specify an alternative slapd.conf(5) file.

-M mech
    specify a mechanism.

-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.

EXAMPLES
The command

	/usr/local/sbin/slapauth -f //usr/local/etc/openldap/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
