NAME

     slapadd - Add entries to a SLAPD database

SYNOPSIS

     SBINDIR/slapadd [-v] [-c] [-u] [-p] [-r] [-w] [-d level] [-b
     suffix]  [-n  dbnum]  [-i rid1,rid2,...] [-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 suf-
     fix  and  adds entries corresponding to the provided LDIF to
     the database.  The LDIF input is read from standard 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 superior
     entries exist before adding an entry, does not  perform  all
     user  and system schema checks, and does not maintain opera-
     tional  attributes  (such  as  createTimeStamp  and  modifi-
     ersName).

OPTIONS

     -v   enable verbose mode.

     -c   enable continue (ignore errors) mode.

     -u   enable dry-run (don't write to backend) mode.

     -p   If  the  LDIF  input  represents  a  syncrepl  consumer
          replica,  promote it to the syncrepl provider's content
          after adding the entries.

          -r
          If  the  LDIF  input  represents  a  syncrepl  provider
          replica,  demote  it  to  the syncrepl consumer replica
          after adding the entries.

     -w   When used with either -p or -r, rebuild  the  new  syn-
          crepl  information  from  the  contents  of  the  added
          entries.  The syncrepl  information  contained  in  the
          LDIF input file is ignored.

     -d level
          enable debugging messages as defined by  the  specified
          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 con-
          figuration  file.  The -n cannot be used in conjunction
          with the -b option.

     -i rid1,rid2,...
          Specify the replication ids for one  or  more  syncrepl
          consumer replicas contained in the LDIF input. If omit-
          ted, 0 is used as the replication id.

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

     -l ldif-file
          Read LDIF from the specified file instead  of  standard
          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:

          SBINDIR/slapadd -l ldif
