SLAPINDEX(8C)							 SLAPINDEX(8C)

NAME
       slapindex - Reindex entries in a	SLAPD database

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/local/sbin/slapindex     [-b suffix]     [-c]     [-d debug-level]
       [-f slapd.conf] [-F confdir] [-g] [-n dbnum]  [-o option[=value]]  [-q]
       [-t] [-v] [attr[...]]

DESCRIPTION
       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  re-
       generated.   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).

OPTIONS
       -b suffix
	      Use the specified	suffix to determine which database to generate
	      output for. 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.

       -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 configu-
	      ration  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 consis-
	      tency 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  be-
	      fore indexing any	entries. May only be used with back-mdb.

       -v     enable verbose mode.

LIMITATIONS
       Your  slapd(8) should not be running (at	least, not in read-write mode)
       when you	do this	to ensure consistency of the database.

       This command provides ample opportunity for  the	 user  to  obtain  and
       drink their favorite beverage.

EXAMPLES
       To reindex your SLAPD database, give the	command:

	    /usr/local/sbin/slapindex
       To regenerate the index for only	a specific attribute, e.g. "uid", give
       the command:

	    /usr/local/sbin/slapindex uid
