NAME

6       slaptest - Check the suitability of the OpenLDAP slapd configuration
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /usr/sbin/slaptest [-d debug-level] [-f slapd.conf] [-F confdir] [-ndb‐
10       num] [-o option[=value]] [-Q] [-u] [-v]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Slaptest is used to check the conformance of  the  slapd(8)  configura‐
14       tion.   It opens the slapd.conf(5) configuration file or the slapd-con‐
15       fig(5) backend, and parses it according to the general and the backend-
16       specific rules, checking its sanity.
17

OPTIONS

19       -d debug-level
20              enable  debugging  messages  as  defined by the specified debug-
21              level; see slapd(8) for details.
22
23       -f slapd.conf
24              specify an alternative slapd.conf(5) file.
25
26       -F confdir
27              specify a config directory.  If both -f and  -F  are  specified,
28              the  config  file will be read and converted to config directory
29              format and written to the specified directory.  If  neither  op‐
30              tion  is  specified,  slaptest  will attempt to read the default
31              config directory before trying to use the default  config  file.
32              If  a valid config directory exists then the default config file
33              is ignored. If dry-run mode is  also  specified,  no  conversion
34              will occur.
35
36       -n dbnum
37              Just  open and test the dbnum-th database listed in the configu‐
38              ration file.  To only test the config database  slapd-config(5),
39              use -n 0 as it is always the first database.
40
41       -o option[=value]
42              Specify  an  option  with a(n optional) value.  Possible generic
43              options/values are:
44
45                     syslog=<subsystems>  (see `-s' in slapd(8))
46                     syslog-level=<level> (see `-S' in slapd(8))
47                     syslog-user=<user>   (see `-l' in slapd(8))
48
49
50       -Q     Be extremely quiet: only the exit code indicates success (0)  or
51              not (any other value).
52
53       -u     enable  dry-run  mode  (i.e.  don't  fail if databases cannot be
54              opened, but config is fine).
55
56       -v     enable verbose mode.
57

EXAMPLES

59       To check a slapd.conf(5) give the command:
60
61            /usr/sbin/slaptest -f //etc/openldap/slapd.conf -v
