SLAPINDEX(8C)SLAPINDEX(8C)NAMEslapindex - SLAPD index to LDIF utility
SYNOPSIS
/usr/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 consis‐
tency 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 configu‐
ration 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:
