💅 ldapmodifyuser — the glow-up your LDAP user was waiting for

okay bestie, so ldapmodifyuser is a manual-page-listed command (manual name: General Commands Manual, in case you were wondering where it lives 🫶), and it does exactly one thing: it modifies a POSIX user account in LDAP, and it does it interactively. no cap. it's giving "tiny little wizard that walks you through it" energy ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ldapmodifyuser <username|uid>

one argument, that's it, that's the whole vibe 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea ☕ — ldapmodifyuser doesn't just start blasting changes at your directory. first it goes looking for the right entry to modify 🔍 like, it finds your user first. main character behavior, honestly.

once it's found the entry, it presents it to you 👀 and then it prompts you to enter LDIF data to modify it — the exact same way you'd do it with a standard LDIF file and ldapmodify(1). same energy, same muscle memory, just a friendlier face 💖

and here's the part that saves you from yourself: the DN of the entry being modified is already specified for you 🫶. so don't retype it, bestie, it's handled. you just begin with a changeType attribute — or any other attribute(s) of your choice, we're not the boss of you 💅. and if you don't specify a changeType? the default is modify. slay.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • <username | uid> — the name or the uid of the user you wanna modify. whichever one you've got on hand, it'll take it. periodt. 🌈
