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 com-
mand-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 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.
-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 op-
tions/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
