SLAPADD(8C)


NAME

  slapadd - Add entries to a SLAPD database


SYNOPSIS

  /usr/internet/openldap/sbin/slapadd [-v] [-c] [-g] [-u] [-q] [-w] [-d
  level] [-b suffix] [-n dbnum] [-f slapd.conf] [-F confdir] [-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.	 Databases configured as subordinate
  of this one are also updated, unless -g is specified.	 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.

  -g   disable subordinate gluing.  Only the specified database will be
       processed, and not its glued subordinates (if any).

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

  -q   enable quick (fewer integrity checks) mode.  Does fewer consistency
       checks on the input data, and no consistency checks when writing the
       database.  Improves the load time but if any errors or interruptions
       occur the resulting database will be unusable.

  -w   write syncrepl context information.  After all entries are added, the
       contextCSN will be updated with the greatest CSN in the database.

  -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.

  -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,
       an attempt to read the default config directory will be made 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.

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

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