slapadd — Add entries to a SLAPD database
SBINDIR/slapadd [
−b suffix ] [−c] [ −d level ] [ −f slapd.conf ] [ −F confdir ] [−g] [ −j lineno ] [ −l ldif−file ] [ −n dbnum ] [ −o name[=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).
−b
suffixUse the specified suffix to determine which
database to add entries to. The −b cannot be used
in conjunction with the −n option.
−cenable continue (ignore errors) mode.
−d
levelenable debugging messages as defined by the
specified level; see slapd(8) for
details.
−f
slapd.confspecify an alternative slapd.conf(5) file.
−F
confdirspecify 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 dryrun mode is also specified, no
conversion will occur.
−gdisable subordinate gluing. Only the specified database will be processed, and not its glued subordinates (if any).
−j
linenoJump 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−fileRead LDIF from the specified file instead of standard input.
−n
dbnumAdd entries to the dbnum−th database
listed in the configuration file. 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))
−qenable 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.
−sdisable 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
SIDServer ID to use in generated entryCSN. Also used for contextCSN if `−w' is set as well. Defaults to 0.
−uenable dry-run (don't write to backend) mode.
−venable verbose mode.
−wwrite 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), ldapadd(1), slapd(8)
