SLAPDN(8) System Manager's Manual SLAPDN(8)
NAME
slapdn - Check a list of string-represented LDAP DNs based on schema
syntax
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/slapdn [-d debug-level] [-f slapd.conf] [-F confdir] [-N|-P]
[-o option[=value]] [-v] DN [...]
DESCRIPTION
Slapdn is used to check the conformance of a DN based on the schema de-
fined in slapd(8) and that loaded via slapd.conf(5). It opens the
slapd.conf(5) configuration file or the slapd-config (5) backend, reads
in the schema definitions, and then parses the DN list given on the
command-line.
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 op-
tion is specified, an attempt to read the default config direc-
tory will be made before trying to use the default config file.
If a valid config directory exists then the default config file
is ignored.
-N only output a normalized form of the DN, suitable to be used in
a normalization tool; incompatible with -P.
-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))
-P only output a prettified form of the DN, suitable to be used in
a check and beautification tool; incompatible with -N.
-v enable verbose mode.
EXAMPLES
To check a DN give the command:
/usr/sbin/slapdn -f //etc/ldap/slapd.conf -v DN
