NAME

       slaptest - Check the suitability of the OpenLDAP slapd configuration

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/slaptest  [-d debug-level] [-f slapd.conf] [-F confdir] [-ndbnum] [-o option[=value]] [-Q] [-u]
       [-v]

DESCRIPTION

       Slaptest is used to check the conformance of the slapd(8)  configuration.   It  opens  the  slapd.conf(5)
       configuration  file  or  the  slapd-config(5)  backend,  and  parses  it according to the general and the
       backend-specific rules, checking its sanity.

OPTIONS

       -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, 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 dry-run mode is also specified, no conversion will occur.

       -n dbnum
              Just open and test the dbnum-th database listed in the  configuration  file.   To  only  test  the
              config database slapd-config(5), use -n 0 as it is always the first database.

       -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 dry-run 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/ldap/slapd.conf -v
