SLAPADD(8C) SLAPADD(8C)
slapadd - Add entries to a SLAPD database
SBINDIR/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]
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. 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 replica. 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:
SBINDIR/slapadd -l ldif
ldap(3), ldif(5), slapcat(8), slapindex(8), slapmodify(8),
ldapadd(1), slapd(8)
