SLAPSCHEMA(8C)                                                SLAPSCHEMA(8C)

NAME         top

       slapschema - SLAPD in-database schema checking utility

SYNOPSIS         top

       SBINDIR/slapschema [-afilter] [-bsuffix] [-c] [-ddebug-level]
       [-fslapd.conf] [-Fconfdir] [-g] [-HURI] [-lerror-file] [-ndbnum]
       [-ooption[=value]] [-ssubtree-dn] [-v]

DESCRIPTION         top

       Slapschema is used to check schema compliance of the contents of a
       slapd(8) database.  It opens the given database determined by the
       database number or suffix and checks the compliance of its contents
       with the corresponding schema. Errors are written to standard output
       or the specified file.  Databases configured as subordinate of this
       one are also output, unless -g is specified.
       Administrators may need to modify existing schema items, including
       adding new required attributes to objectClasses, removing existing
       required or allowed attributes from objectClasses, entirely removing
       objectClasses, or any other change that may result in making
       perfectly valid entries no longer compliant with the modified schema.
       The execution of the slapschema tool after modifying the schema can
       point out inconsistencies that would otherwise surface only when
       inconsistent entries need to be modified.
       The entry records are checked in database order, not superior first
       order.  The entry records will be checked considering all (user and
       operational) attributes stored in the database.  Dynamically
       generated attributes (such as subschemaSubentry) will not be
       considered.

OPTIONS         top

       -a filter
              Only check entries matching the asserted filter.  For example
              slapschema -a \
                  "(!(entryDN:dnSubtreeMatch:=ou=People,dc=example,dc=com))"
              will check all but the "ou=People,dc=example,dc=com" subtree
              of the "dc=example,dc=com" database.  Deprecated; use -H
              ldap:///???(filter) instead.
       -b suffix
              Use the specified suffix to determine which database to check.
              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).
       -H  URI
              use dn, scope and filter from URI to only handle matching
              entries.
       -l error-file
              Write errors to specified file instead of standard output.
       -n dbnum
              Check 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))
       -s subtree-dn
              Only check entries in the subtree specified by this DN.
              Implies -b subtree-dn if no -b nor -n option is given.
              Deprecated; use -H ldap:///subtree-dn instead.
       -v     Enable verbose mode.

LIMITATIONS         top

       For some backend types, your slapd(8) should not be running (at
       least, not in read-write mode) when you do this to ensure consistency
       of the database. It is always safe to run slapschema with the
       slapd-bdb(5), slapd-hdb(5), and slapd-null(5) backends.

EXAMPLES         top

       To check the schema compliance of your SLAPD database after
       modifications to the schema, and put any error in a file called
       errors.ldif, give the command:
            SBINDIR/slapschema -l errors.ldif
