9.3. Using ldapmodify command interactively

Procedure

1. In a command line, enter the LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF) statement after the ldapmodify command.

   For example, to change the telephone number for a <testuser>:

   # ldapmodify -Y GSSAPI -H ldap://<server.example.com>
   dn: uid=testuser,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=com
   changetype: modify
   replace: telephoneNumber
   telephonenumber: 88888888

   Note that you need to obtain a Kerberos ticket for using -Y option.

2. Press Ctlr+D to exit the interactive mode.

3. Alternatively, provide an LDIF file after ldapmodify command:

   The ldapmodify command reads modification data from an LDIF file

   # ldapmodify -Y GSSAPI -H ldap://<server.example.com> -f ~/example.ldif
