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
       defined 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
	      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
	      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/openldap/slapd.conf -v DN
