SLAPSCHEMA(8C) SLAPSCHEMA(8C)
NAME
slapschema - SLAPD in-database schema checking utility
SYNOPSIS
SBINDIR/slapschema [-afilter] [-bsuffix] [-c] [-ddebug-level]
[-fslapd.conf] [-Fconfdir] [-g] [-HURI] [-lerror-file] [-ndbnum]
[-ooption[=value]] [-ssubtree-dn] [-v]
DESCRIPTION
Slapschema is used to check schema compliance of the contents of
a slapd(8) database. It opens the given database determined by
the database number or suffix and checks the compliance of its
contents with the corresponding schema. Errors are written to
standard output or the specified file. Databases configured as
subordinate of this one are also output, unless -g is specified.
Administrators may need to modify existing schema items,
including adding new required attributes to objectClasses,
removing existing required or allowed attributes from
objectClasses, entirely removing objectClasses, or any other
change that may result in making perfectly valid entries no
longer compliant with the modified schema. The execution of the
slapschema tool after modifying the schema can point out
inconsistencies that would otherwise surface only when
inconsistent entries need to be modified.
The entry records are checked in database order, not superior
first order. The entry records will be checked considering all
(user and operational) attributes stored in the database.
Dynamically generated attributes (such as subschemaSubentry) will
not be considered.
OPTIONS
-a filter
Only check entries matching the asserted filter. For
example
slapschema -a \
"(!(entryDN:dnSubtreeMatch:=ou=People,dc=example,dc=com))"
will check all but the "ou=People,dc=example,dc=com"
subtree of the "dc=example,dc=com" database. Deprecated;
use -H ldap:///???(filter) instead.
-b suffix
Use the specified suffix to determine which database to
check. By default, the first database that supports the
requested operation is used. The -b cannot be used in
conjunction with the -n option.
-c Enable continue (ignore errors) mode.
-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.
-g disable subordinate gluing. Only the specified database
will be processed, and not its glued subordinates (if
any).
-H URI
use dn, scope and filter from URI to only handle matching
entries.
-l error-file
Write errors to specified file instead of standard output.
-n dbnum
Check the dbnum-th database listed in the configuration
file. The config database slapd-config(5), is always the
first database, so use -n 0
The -n cannot be used in conjunction with the -b option.
-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))
-s subtree-dn
Only check entries in the subtree specified by this DN.
Implies -b subtree-dn if no -b nor -n option is given.
Deprecated; use -H ldap:///subtree-dn instead.
-v Enable verbose mode.
LIMITATIONS
For some backend types, your slapd(8) should not be running (at
least, not in read-write mode) when you do this to ensure
consistency of the database. It is always safe to run slapschema
with the slapd-mdb(5), and slapd-null(5) backends.
EXAMPLES
To check the schema compliance of your SLAPD database after
modifications to the schema, and put any error in a file called
errors.ldif, give the command:
SBINDIR/slapschema -l errors.ldif
