ldapmodrdn
While the dn of an object is an attribute it cannot be modified via the
ldapmodify command as it is the key used by the LDAP API
ldap_modify(LDAP* ld, char* dn, LDAPMod* mods[]) function.
To modify the rdn of a dn requires calling ldap_modifyrdn2(LDAP*
ld, char* dn, char* newrdn), which is exactly what ldapmodrdn does.
Most of the options available to ldapmodify (-n, -c, -M, etc...) are
also available to ldapmodrdn.
ldapmodrdn [ options ] [[ -f file ] | [ dn rdn ]]
ldapmodrdn can processes a file composed of pairs of lines seperated
by one or more blank lines, for example:
cn=Adam William, ou=People,dc=Whitemice,dc=Org
cn=mailliW madA
Would change the RDN of the object specified in the first line to that
specified on the second line.
