SLAPTEST(8C)                                                                                    SLAPTEST(8C)



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

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/slaptest [-d level] [-f slapd.conf] [-F confdir] [-o name[=value]] [-Q] [-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; 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, 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.

       -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     Be extremely quiet: only the exit code indicates success (0) or not (any other value).

       -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:

            /usr/sbin/slaptest -f //etc/openldap/slapd.conf -v
