SLAPTEST(8C)                                                                                    SLAPTEST(8C)



NAME
       slaptest - Check the suitability of the slapd.conf file.

SYNOPSIS
       /BinaryCache/OpenLDAP/OpenLDAP-106~5/Root/usr/sbin/slaptest  [-d  level] [-f slapd.conf] [-F confdir]
       [-u] [-v]


DESCRIPTION
       Slaptest is used to check the conformance of the slapd.conf(5)  configuration  file.   It  opens  the
       slapd.conf(5)  configuration  file,  and  parses it according to the general and the backend-specific
       rules, checking its sanity.


OPTIONS
       -d level
              enable debugging messages as defined by the specified level.

       -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, slaptest will attempt to read the default config directory 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.

       -u     enable dryrun mode (i.e. don't fail if databases cannot be opened, but config is fine).

       -v     enable verbose mode.

EXAMPLES
       To check a slapd.conf(5) give the command:

            /BinaryCache/OpenLDAP/OpenLDAP-106~5/Root/usr/sbin/slaptest -f //etc/openldap/slapd.conf -v
