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-con-
       fig(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
