NAME
       syntax-validate.pl - Directory Server perl script for validating attribute syntax.


SYNOPSIS
       syntax-validate.pl  [-Z  serverID] [-D rootdn] { -w password | -w - | -j filename } -b baseDN [-f filter]
       [-P protocol] [-h]


DESCRIPTION
       Syntax validation checks every modification to attributes to  make  sure  that  the  new  value  has  the
       required  syntax for that attribute type. All attribute syntaxes are validated against the definitions in
       RFC 4514.


OPTIONS
       A summary of options is included below:

       -Z Server Identifier
              The server ID of the Directory Server instance.  If there is only one instance on the system, this
              option can be skipped.

       -D Root DN
              The  Directory  Manager  DN,  or  root  DN.   If  not specified, the script will search the server
              instance configuration for the value.

       -w password
              The rootdn password.

       -w -
              Prompt for the rootdn password.

       -j password filename
              The name of the file that contains the root DN password.

       -b baseDN
              Gives the base DN for the entries to validate.

       -f filter
              Contains a search filter to use to select a subset of entries to validate. If this is  not  given,
              then all entries under the base DN are checked.

       -P protocol
              The connection protocol to connect to the Directory Server.  Protocols are STARTTLS, LDAPS, LDAPI,
              and LDAP.  If this option is skipped, the most secure protocol that is  available  is  used.   For
              LDAPI, AUTOBIND is also available for the root user.

       -h
              Display usage


EXAMPLE
       syntax-validate.pl -Z instance2 -D 'cn=directory manager' -w password -b 'dc=example,dc=com' -f 'cn=*' -P
       STARTTLS

              Note: security must be enabled to use protocol STARTTLS.  If STARTTLS is  not  available  it  will
              default to next strongest/available protocol automatically.


DIAGNOSTICS
       Exit status is zero if no errors occur.  Errors result in a non-zero exit status and a diagnostic message
       being written to standard error.
