.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
\fBldapmodrdn\fR opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and modifies the
RDN of entries. The entry information is read from standard input, from
\fBfile\fR through the use of the \fB-f\fR option, or from the command-line
pair \fIdn\fR and \fIrdn\fR.

\fB\fB-O\fR \fIhopLimit\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6

Specify the maximum number of referral hops to follow while finding an entry to
modify. By default, there is no limit.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-P\fR \fIpath\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Specify the path and filename of the client's certificate database. For
example:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
-P /home/uid/.netscape/cert7.db
.fi
.in -2

When using the command on the same host as the directory server, you can use
the server's own certificate database. For example:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
-P \fIinstallDir\fR/lapd-serverID/alias/cert7.db
.fi
.in -2

Use the \fB-P\fR option alone to specify server authentication only.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-p\fR\fI ldapport\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Specify an alternate TCP port where the secure LAPD server is listening.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-R\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Do not automatically follow referrals returned while searching.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2

.sp .6
.RS 4n
Remove old RDN values from the entry. By default, old values are kept.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-V\fR \fIversion\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Specify the LDAP protocol version number to be used for the delete operation,
either 2 or 3. LDAP v3 is the default. Specify LDAP v2 when connecting to
servers that do not support v3.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-v\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Use verbose mode, with diagnostics written to standard output.
.RE

.sp
.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\fI passwd\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 the
\fBldapmodrdn\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.
.RE

.SS "Input Format"
.sp
.LP
If the command-line arguments \fIdn\fR and \fIrdn\fR are given, \fIrdn\fR
replaces the RDN of the entry specified by the DN, \fIdn\fR.
.sp
.LP
Otherwise, the contents of \fBfile\fR (or standard input if the \fB-\fR \fBf\fR
option is not specified) must consist of one or more pair of lines:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
    Distinguished Name (DN)
    Relative Distinguished Name (RDN)
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
Use one or more blank lines to separate each DN/RDN pair.
.SH EXAMPLES
.sp
.LP
The file \fB/tmp/entrymods\fR contains:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
cn=Modify Me, o=XYZ, c=US
cn=The New Me
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
The command:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
example% ldapmodify -r -f /tmp/entrymods
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
changes the RDN of the "Modify Me" entry from "Modify Me" to "The New Me" and
the old cn, "Modify Me" is removed.
.SH ATTRIBUTES
.sp
.LP
