Überblick
Update LDAP entries with a text editor
Verlauf
ldapvi is an interactive Unix terminal LDAP client that lets administrators edit LDAP directory entries with a text editor, explicitly framed by its author as vipw(1) for LDAP.
ldapvi was written by David Lichteblau and released as a small C/autoconf Unix utility. The project's official site describes it as an interactive LDAP client for updating LDAP entries with an editor and links both the manual and the GitHub repository.
The NEWS file records 1.0 as the initial release on 2004-01-01. During the 2004-2007 release series, ldapvi gained .ldaprc setup support, naming-context discovery, TLS options, SASL support, LDIF compatibility modes, UTF-8 support, and its own ldapvi configuration file syntax.
A 1.8 release was published on 2026-02-14, collecting modern build fixes and long-running packaging patches while preserving the old editor-centered workflow.
ldapvi became a niche but durable administrator tool because it matched an existing Unix idiom: dump structured system state into an editor, validate the edited result, then commit changes interactively.
Its package-manager presence across Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora-family systems, Alpine, MacPorts, Nix, and other Unix-like distributions reflects long-tail sysadmin adoption rather than mass developer-tool popularity.
Typical use is to bind to an LDAP server, fetch entries into an editor buffer, make changes in ldapvi syntax or LDIF-like forms, review the detected add/rename/modify/delete operations, and then confirm or re-edit.
The manual documents conventional OpenLDAP configuration files such as ~/.ldaprc and /etc/ldap/ldap.conf, plus ldapvi's own ~/.ldapvirc or /etc/ldapvi.conf format for profiles and command options.
ldapvi matters to package nerds because it is the rare LDAP administration package built around vi-era Unix ergonomics rather than a GUI, web console, or one-shot ldapmodify pipeline.
Its release history is also a tidy example of a small C utility surviving dependency churn: OpenLDAP, SASL, TLS libraries, readline, curses, and distro packaging all show up in the NEWS file.
