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 specific details, please see
slapindex(8).
-
-b suffix
- Use the specified suffix to determine which database
to add entries to. By default, the first database that supports the
requested operation is used. 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 consumer. 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.
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.
To import the entries specified in file
ldif into your
slapd(8)
database give the command:
/usr/sbin/slapadd -l ldif
ldap(3),
ldif(5),
slapcat(8),
slapindex(8),
slapmodify(8),
ldapadd(1),
slapd(8)
