SLAPADD(8C) SLAPADD(8C) NAME slapadd - Add entries to a SLAPD database SYNOPSIS /usr/local/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 de- termined by the database number or suffix and adds entries correspond- ing to the provided LDIF to the database. Databases configured as sub- ordinate 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). OPTIONS -b suffix Use the specified suffix to determine which database to add en- tries to. By default, the first database that supports the re- quested 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 op- tion is specified, an attempt to read the default config direc- tory 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 pro- cessing any entries. This allows a load that was aborted due to errors in the input LDIF to be resumed after the errors are cor- rected. -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. LIMITATIONS Your slapd(8) should not be running when you do this to ensure consis- tency 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) data- base give the command: /usr/local/sbin/slapadd -l ldif SEE ALSO ldap(3), ldif(5), slapcat(8), slapindex(8), slapmodify(8), ldapadd(1), slapd(8) "OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide" (http://www.OpenLDAP.org/doc/admin/) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OpenLDAP Software is developed and maintained by The OpenLDAP Project <http://www.openldap.org/>.
