SLAPADD(8C)                                           SLAPADD(8C)



NAME
       slapadd - Add entries to a SLAPD database

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/slapadd  [-v]  [-c]  [-d  level] [-b suffix] [-n
       dbnum] [-f slapd.conf] [-l ldif-file]


DESCRIPTION
       Slapadd is used to add entries specified in LDAP Directory
       Interchange  Format  (LDIF)  to  a  slapd(8) database.  It
       opens the given database determined by the database number
       or  suffix  and adds entries corresponding to the provided
       LDIF to the database.  The LDIF input is read  from  stan-
       dard input or the specified file.

       As  slapadd  is designed to accept LDIF in database order,
       as produced by slapcat(8), it does not verify  that  supe-
       rior entries exist before adding an entry.

OPTIONS
       -v     enable verbose mode.

       -c     enable continue (ignore errors) mode.

       -d level
              enable  debugging messages as defined by the speci-
              fied level.

       -b suffix
              Use  the  specified  suffix  to   determine   which
              database  to add entries to.  The -b cannot be used
              in conjunction with the -n option.

       -n dbnum
              Add entries to the dbnum-th database listed in  the
              configuration  file.  The -n cannot be used in con-
              junction with the -b option.

       -f slapd.conf
              specify an alternative slapd.conf(5) file.

       -l ldif-file
              Read LDIF from the specified file instead of  stan-
              dard input.

LIMITATIONS
       Your  slapd(8)  should  not be running when you do this to
       ensure consistency of the database.

       slapadd may not provide naming or schema  checks.   It  is
       advisable  to  use ldapadd(1) when adding new entries into
       an existing directory.

EXAMPLES
       To import a entries  specified  in  file  ldif  into  your
       slapd(8) database give the command:

            /usr/sbin/slapadd -l ldif
