SLAPADD(8C)


NAME

  slapadd - Add entries to a SLAPD database


SYNOPSIS

  /usr/internet/openldap/sbin/slapadd [-v] [-c] [-u] [-d level] [-b suffix]
  [-n dbnum] [-f slapd.conf] [-l ldif-file]


DESCRIPTION

  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.	 The LDIF input is read from standard
  input or the specified file.

  As slapadd is designed to accept LDIF in database order, as produced by
  slapcat(8), it does not verify that superior entries exist before adding an
  entry, does not perform all user and system schema checks, and does not
  maintain operational attributes (such as createTimeStamp and
  modifiersName).


OPTIONS

  -v   enable verbose mode.

  -c   enable continue (ignore errors) mode.

  -u   enable dry-run (don't write to backend) mode.

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

  -b suffix
       Use the specified suffix to determine which database to add entries
       to.  The -b cannot be used in conjunction with the -n option.

  -n dbnum
       Add entries to the dbnum-th database listed in the configuration file.
       The -n cannot be used in conjunction with the -b option.

  -f slapd.conf
       specify an alternative slapd.conf(5) file.

  -l ldif-file
       Read LDIF from the specified file instead of standard input.


LIMITATIONS

  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.


EXAMPLES

  To import a entries specified in file ldif into your slapd(8) database give
  the command:

	  /usr/internet/openldap/sbin/slapadd -l ldif
