slaptest(8)


NAME

   slaptest - Check the suitability of the OpenLDAP slapd configuration

SYNOPSIS

   /usr/sbin/slaptest    [-d debug-level]   [-f slapd.conf]   [-F confdir]
   [-ndbnum] [-o option[=value]] [-Q] [-u] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

   Slaptest  is  used  to  check   the   conformance   of   the   slapd(8)
   configuration.   It  opens  the slapd.conf(5) configuration file or the
   slapd-config(5) backend, and parses it according to the general and the
   backend-specific rules, checking its sanity.

OPTIONS

   -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, slaptest will attempt to read the default
          config directory before trying to use the default  config  file.
          If  a valid config directory exists then the default config file
          is ignored. If dry-run mode is  also  specified,  no  conversion
          will occur.

   -n dbnum
          Just   open  and  test  the  dbnum-th  database  listed  in  the
          configuration  file.   To  only   test   the   config   database
          slapd-config(5), use -n 0 as it is always the first database.

   -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))

   -Q     Be extremely quiet: only the exit code indicates success (0)  or
          not (any other value).

   -u     enable  dry-run  mode  (i.e.  don't  fail if databases cannot be
          opened, but config is fine).

   -v     enable verbose mode.

EXAMPLES

   To check a slapd.conf(5) give the command:

        /usr/sbin/slaptest -f //etc/ldap/slapd.conf -v
