💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, listen up. _ldaprenameuser — she renames a POSIX user account in LDAP. That's it. That's the whole job. This manual page is from the General Commands Manual and it's for _ldaprenameuser(1), so you know it's official.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

_ldaprenameuser <old username|uid> <new username>

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • <old username | uid> — the old name or the uid of the user you're renaming. Basically the "before" pic. 📸
  • <new username> — the new name of the user. The glow-up. 💅

⚠️ LIMITATIONS ⚠️

Group entries will NOT be updated. This means several groups may contain users that NO LONGER exist after having renamed a user. Home directories are NOT renamed (neither in the LDAP directory, nor on the filesystem).

So like, don't expect the whole system to magically follow along. It's giving "I only changed the username, not the vibes." 😭
