slapschema(8)


NAME

   slapschema - SLAPD in-database schema checking utility

SYNOPSIS

   /usr/sbin/slapschema   [-afilter]   [-bsuffix]   [-c]   [-ddebug-level]
   [-fslapd.conf]  [-Fconfdir]  [-g]  [-HURI]   [-lerror-file]   [-ndbnum]
   [-ooption[=value]] [-ssubtree-dn] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

   Slapschema  is  used  to  check  schema compliance of the contents of a
   slapd(8) database.  It opens  the  given  database  determined  by  the
   database  number  or  suffix  and checks the compliance of its contents
   with the corresponding schema. Errors are written to standard output or
   the  specified  file.   Databases configured as subordinate of this one
   are also output, unless -g is specified.

   Administrators may need to  modify  existing  schema  items,  including
   adding  new  required  attributes  to  objectClasses, removing existing
   required or allowed attributes from  objectClasses,  entirely  removing
   objectClasses,  or any other change that may result in making perfectly
   valid entries no  longer  compliant  with  the  modified  schema.   The
   execution  of  the slapschema tool after modifying the schema can point
   out inconsistencies that would otherwise surface only when inconsistent
   entries need to be modified.

   The  entry  records  are  checked in database order, not superior first
   order.  The entry records will be checked  considering  all  (user  and
   operational)  attributes stored in the database.  Dynamically generated
   attributes (such as subschemaSubentry) will not be considered.

OPTIONS

   -a filter
          Only check entries matching the asserted filter.  For example

          slapschema -a \
              "(!(entryDN:dnSubtreeMatch:=ou=People,dc=example,dc=com))"

          will check all but the "ou=People,dc=example,dc=com" subtree  of
          the    "dc=example,dc=com"   database.    Deprecated;   use   -H
          ldap:///???(filter) instead.

   -b suffix
          Use the specified suffix to determine which database  to  check.
          The -b cannot be used in conjunction with the -n option.

   -c     Enable continue (ignore errors) mode.

   -d debug-level
          Enable  debugging  messages  as  defined by the specified debug-
          level; see slapd(8) for details.

   -f slapd.conf
          Specify an alternative slapd.conf(5) file.

   -F confdir
          specify a config directory.  If both -f and  -F  are  specified,
          the  config  file will be read and converted to config directory
          format and written  to  the  specified  directory.   If  neither
          option  is  specified,  an  attempt  to  read the default config
          directory will be made before trying to use the  default  config
          file. If a valid config directory exists then the default config
          file is ignored.

   -g     disable subordinate gluing.  Only the specified database will be
          processed, and not its glued subordinates (if any).

   -H  URI
          use  dn,  scope  and  filter  from  URI  to only handle matching
          entries.

   -l error-file
          Write errors to specified file instead of standard output.

   -n dbnum
          Check the dbnum-th database listed in  the  configuration  file.
          The   config  database  slapd-config(5),  is  always  the  first
          database, so use -n 0

          The -n cannot be used in conjunction with the -b option.

   -o option[=value]
          Specify an option with a(n optional)  value.   Possible  generic
          options/values are:

                 syslog=<subsystems>  (see `-s' in slapd(8))
                 syslog-level=<level> (see `-S' in slapd(8))
                 syslog-user=<user>   (see `-l' in slapd(8))

   -s subtree-dn
          Only check entries in the subtree specified by this DN.  Implies
          -b subtree-dn if no -b nor -n option is given.  Deprecated;  use
          -H ldap:///subtree-dn instead.

   -v     Enable verbose mode.

LIMITATIONS

   For  some backend types, your slapd(8) should not be running (at least,
   not in read-write mode) when you do this to ensure consistency  of  the
   database.  It  is  always safe to run slapschema with the slapd-bdb(5),
   slapd-hdb(5), and slapd-null(5) backends.

EXAMPLES

   To  check  the  schema  compliance  of  your   SLAPD   database   after
   modifications  to  the  schema,  and  put  any  error  in a file called
   errors.ldif, give the command:

        /usr/sbin/slapschema -l errors.ldif
