SLAPTEST(8C) SLAPTEST(8C)
slaptest - Check the suitability of the OpenLDAP slapd
configuration
SBINDIR/slaptest [-d debug-level] [-f slapd.conf] [-F confdir]
[-ndbnum] [-o option[=value]] [-Q] [-u] [-v]
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.
-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.
To check a slapd.conf(5) give the command:
SBINDIR/slaptest -f /ETCDIR/slapd.conf -v
ldap(3), slapd(8), slapdn(8)
