Slapindex is used to regenerate
slapd(8) indices based upon the
current contents of a database. It opens the given database determined by the
database number or suffix and updates the indices for all values of all
attributes of all entries. If a list of specific attributes is provided on the
command line, only the indices for those attributes will be regenerated.
Databases configured as
subordinate of this one are also re-indexed,
unless
-g is specified.
All files eventually created by
slapindex will belong to the identity
slapindex is run as, so make sure you either run
slapindex with
the same identity
slapd(8) will be run as (see option
-u in
slapd(8)), or change file ownership before running
slapd(8).
-
-b suffix
- Use the specified suffix to determine which database
to generate output for. 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.
- -g
- disable subordinate gluing. Only the specified database
will be processed, and not its glued subordinates (if any).
-
-n dbnum
- Generate output for the dbnum-th database listed in
the configuration file. The config database slapd-config(5), is
always the first database, so use -n 0
The -n cannot be used in conjunction with the -b option.
-
-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
- enable quick (fewer integrity checks) mode. Performs no
consistency checks when writing the database. Improves indexing time,
however the database will most likely be unusable if any errors or
interruptions occur.
- -t
- enable truncate mode. Truncates (empties) an index database
before indexing any entries. May only be used with back-mdb.
- -v
- enable verbose mode.
Your
slapd(8) should not be running (at least, not in read-write mode)
when you do this to ensure consistency of the database.
slapindex ought to be run as the user specified for
slapd(8) to ensure
correct database permissions.
This command provides ample opportunity for the user to obtain and drink their
favorite beverage.
To reindex your SLAPD database, give the command:
/usr/sbin/slapindex
To regenerate the index for only a specific attribute, e.g. "uid",
give the command:
/usr/sbin/slapindex uid
ldap(3),
ldif(5),
slapadd(8),
ldapadd(1),
slapd(8)
