ldapmodrdn is a shell-accessible interface to the ldap_rename(3)
  library call.
ldapmodrdn opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and
    modifies the RDN of entries. The entry information is read from standard
    input, from file through the use of the -f option, or from the
    command-line pair dn and rdn.
  - -V[V]
- Print version info. If -VV is given, only the version information
      is printed.
- -d debuglevel
- Set the LDAP debugging level to debuglevel. ldapmodrdn must
      be compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any
    effect.
- -n
- Show what would be done, but don't actually change entries. Useful for
      debugging in conjunction with -v.
- -v
- Use verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard output.
- -r
- Remove old RDN values from the entry. Default is to keep old values.
- -s newsup
- Specify a new superior entry. (I.e., move the target entry and make it a
      child of the new superior.) This option is not supported in LDAPv2.
- -c
- Continuous operation mode. Errors are reported, but ldapmodrdn will
      continue with modifications. The default is to exit after reporting an
      error.
- -f file
- Read the entry modification information from file instead of from
      standard input or the command-line.
- -M[M]
- Enable manage DSA IT control. -MM makes control critical.
- -x
- Use simple authentication instead of SASL.
- -D binddn
- Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the LDAP directory.
      For SASL binds, the server is expected to ignore this value.
- -W
- Prompt for simple authentication. This is used instead of specifying the
      password on the command line.
- -w passwd
- Use passwd as the password for simple authentication.
- -y passwdfile
- Use complete contents of passwdfile as the password for simple
      authentication.
- -H ldapuri
- Specify URI(s) referring to the ldap server(s); only the
      protocol/host/port fields are allowed; a list of URI, separated by
      whitespace or commas is expected.
- -h ldaphost
- Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running. Deprecated
      in favor of -H.
- -p ldapport
- Specify an alternate TCP port where the ldap server is listening.
      Deprecated in favor of -H.
- -P {2|3}
- Specify the LDAP protocol version to use.
- -e [!]ext[=extparam]
- -E [!]ext[=extparam]
- 
    Specify general extensions with -e and modrdn
        extensions with -E. ´!´ indicates
        criticality. General extensions: 
  [!]assert=<filter>    (an RFC 4515 Filter)
  !authzid=<authzid>    ("dn:<dn>" or "u:<user>")
  [!]bauthzid           (RFC 3829 authzid control)
  [!]chaining[=<resolve>[/<cont>]]
  [!]manageDSAit
  [!]noop
  ppolicy
  [!]postread[=<attrs>] (a comma-separated attribute list)
  [!]preread[=<attrs>]  (a comma-separated attribute list)
  [!]relax
  sessiontracking
  abandon,cancel,ignore (SIGINT sends abandon/cancel,
  or ignores response; if critical, doesn't wait for SIGINT.
  not really controls)
    Modrdn extensions: 
  (none)
    
- -o opt[=optparam]
- 
    Specify general options. General options: 
  nettimeout=<timeout>  (in seconds, or "none" or "max")
  ldif-wrap=<width>     (in columns, or "no" for no wrapping)
    
- -O security-properties
- Specify SASL security properties.
- -I
- Enable SASL Interactive mode. Always prompt. Default is to prompt only as
      needed.
- -Q
- Enable SASL Quiet mode. Never prompt.
- -N
- Do not use reverse DNS to canonicalize SASL host name.
- -U authcid
- Specify the authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the ID depends on
      the actual SASL mechanism used.
- -R realm
- Specify the realm of authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the
      realm depends on the actual SASL mechanism used.
- -X authzid
- Specify the requested authorization ID for SASL bind. authzid must
      be one of the following formats: dn:<distinguished
      name> or u:<username>
- -Y mech
- Specify the SASL mechanism to be used for authentication. If it's not
      specified, the program will choose the best mechanism the server
    knows.
- -Z[Z]
- Issue StartTLS (Transport Layer Security) extended operation. If you use
      -ZZ, the command will require the operation to be successful.
If the command-line arguments dn and rdn are given, rdn
  will replace the RDN of the entry specified by the DN, dn.Otherwise, the contents of file (or standard input if no
    -f flag is given) should consist of one or more entries.
    Distinguished Name (DN)
    Relative Distinguished Name (RDN)
One or more blank lines may be used to separate each DN/RDN
  pair.
Assuming that the file /tmp/entrymods exists and has the contents:
    cn=Modify Me,dc=example,dc=com
    cn=The New Me
the command:
    ldapmodrdn -r -f /tmp/entrymods
will change the RDN of the "Modify Me" entry from
    "Modify Me" to "The New Me" and the old cn, "Modify
    Me" will be removed.
Exit status is 0 if no errors occur. Errors result in a non-zero exit status and
  a diagnostic message being written to standard error.
