SLAPINDEX(8C)                                                    SLAPINDEX(8C)



NAME
       slapindex - SLAPD index to LDIF utility

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/local/sbin/slapindex [-v] [-c] [-g] [-q] [-d level] [-b suffix]
       [-n dbnum] [-f slapd.conf] [-F confdir]

DESCRIPTION
       Slapindex is used to regenerate slapd(8) indices based upon the current
       contents of a database.  It opens the given database determined by the
       database number or suffix and updates the indices for all values of all
       attributes of all entries.  Databases configured as subordinate of this
       one are also re-indexed, unless -g is specified.

       All files eventually created by slapindex will belong to the identity
       slapindex is run as, so make sure you either run slapindex with the
       same identity slapd(8) will be run as (see option -u in slapd(8)), or
       change file ownership before running slapd(8).

OPTIONS
       -v     enable verbose mode.

       -c     enable continue (ignore errors) mode.

       -g     disable subordinate gluing.  Only the specified database will be
              processed, and not its glued subordinates (if any).

       -q     enable quick (fewer integrity checks) mode. Performs no
              consistency checks when writing the database. Improves indexing
              time, however the database will most likely be unusable if any
              errors or interruptions occur.

       -d level
              enable debugging messages as defined by the specified level.

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

       -n dbnum
              Generate output for the dbnum-th database listed in the
              configuration file.  The -n cannot be used in conjunction with
              the -b option.

       -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.

LIMITATIONS
       Your slapd(8) should not be running (at least, not in read-write mode)
       when you do this to ensure consistency of the database.

       This command provides ample opportunity for the user to obtain and
       drink their favorite beverage.

EXAMPLES
       To reindex your SLAPD database, give the command:

            /usr/local/sbin/slapindex
