NAME
       slaptest - Check the suitability of the OpenLDAP slapd configuration

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/slaptest [-d debug-level] [-f slapd.conf] [-F confdir] [-ndb-
       num] [-o option[=value]] [-Q] [-u] [-v]

DESCRIPTION
       Slaptest is used to check the conformance of  the  slapd(8)  configura-
       tion.   It opens the slapd.conf(5) configuration file or the slapd-con-
       fig(5) backend, and parses it according to the general and the backend-
       specific rules, checking its sanity.

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, slaptest will attempt to read the default
	      config directory before trying to use the default	 config	 file.
	      If  a valid config directory exists then the default config file
	      is ignored. If dry-run mode is  also  specified,	no  conversion
	      will occur.

       -n dbnum
	      Just  open and test the dbnum-th database listed in the configu-
	      ration file.  To only test the config database  slapd-config(5),
	      use -n 0 as it is always the first database.

       -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))


       -Q     Be extremely quiet: only the exit code indicates success (0)  or
	      not (any other value).

       -u     enable  dry-run  mode  (i.e.  don't  fail if databases cannot be
	      opened, but config is fine).

       -v     enable verbose mode.

EXAMPLES
       To check a slapd.conf(5) give the command:

	    /usr/sbin/slaptest -f //etc/openldap/slapd.conf -v
