slapadd(8)

NAME

   slapadd - Add entries to a SLAPD database

SYNOPSIS

   /usr/sbin/slapadd  [-b suffix]  [-c]  [-d debug-level]  [-f slapd.conf]
   [-F confdir]     [-g]     [-j lineno]     [-l ldif-file]     [-n dbnum]
   [-o option[=value]] [-q] [-s] [-S SID] [-u] [-v] [-w]

DESCRIPTION

   Slapadd  is used to add entries specified in LDAP Directory Interchange
   Format (LDIF) to a slapd(8) database.   It  opens  the  given  database
   determined   by   the  database  number  or  suffix  and  adds  entries
   corresponding  to  the  provided  LDIF  to  the  database.    Databases
   configured  as  subordinate  of this one are also updated, unless -g is
   specified.  The LDIF input is read from standard input or the specified
   file.

   All  files  eventually  created  by slapadd will belong to the identity
   slapadd is run as, so make sure you either run slapadd  with  the  same
   identity slapd(8) will be run as (see option -u in slapd(8)), or change
   file ownership before running slapd(8).

   Note: slapadd will also perform the relevant indexing whilst adding the
   database  if  any  are  configured.  For  specfic  details,  please see
   slapindex(8).

OPTIONS

   -b suffix
          Use the specified suffix to  determine  which  database  to  add
          entries  to.   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.  If  dry-run  mode  is  also  specified,  no
          conversion will occur.

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

   -j lineno
          Jump  to  the  specified  line  number  in  the LDIF file before
          processing any entries. This allows a load that was aborted  due
          to  errors  in the input LDIF to be resumed after the errors are
          corrected.

   -l ldif-file
          Read LDIF from the specified file instead of standard input.

   -n dbnum
          Add entries to the dbnum-th database listed in the configuration
          file.   The -n cannot be used in conjunction with the -b option.
          To populate the config database slapd-config(5), use -n 0 as  it
          is  always  the  first database. It must physically exist on the
          filesystem prior to this, however.

   -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))

                 schema-check={yes|no}
                 value-check={yes|no}

          The schema-check option toggles schema checking (default on);
          the value-check option toggles value checking (default off).
          The latter is incompatible with -q.

   -q     enable quick (fewer integrity checks) mode.  Does fewer consistency checks
          on the input data, and no consistency checks when writing the database.
          Improves the load time but if any errors or interruptions occur the resulting
          database will be unusable.

   -s     disable schema checking.  This option is intended to be used when loading
          databases containing special objects, such as fractional objects on a
          partial replica.  Loading normal objects which do not conform to
          schema may result in unexpected and ill behavior.

   -S SID Server ID to use in generated entryCSN.  Also used for contextCSN
          if -w is set as well.  Defaults to 0.

   -u     enable dry-run (don't write to backend) mode.

   -v     enable verbose mode.

   -w     write syncrepl context information.
          After all entries are added, the contextCSN
          will be updated with the greatest CSN in the database.

LIMITATIONS

   Your  slapd(8)  should  not  be  running  when  you  do  this to ensure
   consistency of the database.

   slapadd may not provide naming or schema checks.  It  is  advisable  to
   use ldapadd(1) when adding new entries into an existing directory.

EXAMPLES

   To  import  the  entries  specified  in  file  ldif  into your slapd(8)
   database give the command:

        /usr/sbin/slapadd -l ldif
