NAME

       slapadd - Add entries to a SLAPD database

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/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/sbin/slapadd -l ldif
