slapindex — Reindex entries in a SLAPD database
SBINDIR/slapindex [
−b suffix ] [−c] [ −d debug−level ] [ −f slapd.conf ] [ −F confdir ] [−g] [ −n dbnum ] [ −o option[= value] ] [−q] [−t] [−v] [ attr [ ... ] ]
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. If a
list of specific attributes is provided on the command line,
only the indices for those attributes will be regenerated.
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).
−b
suffixUse the specified suffix to determine which
database to generate output for. The −b cannot be used in conjunction
with the −n
option.
−cenable continue (ignore errors) mode.
−d
debug−levelenable debugging messages as defined by the
specified debug-level; see
slapd(8) for details.
−f
slapd.confspecify an alternative slapd.conf(5) file.
−F
confdirspecify 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.
−gdisable subordinate gluing. Only the specified database will be processed, and not its glued subordinates (if any).
−n
dbnumGenerate output for the dbnum-th database listed
in the configuration file. The config database
slapd-config(5), is
always the first database, so use −n 0
The −n cannot be
used in conjunction with the −b option.
−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))
−qenable 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.
−tenable truncate mode. Truncates (empties) an index database before indexing any entries. May only be used with Quick mode.
−venable verbose mode.
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.
To reindex your SLAPD database, give the command:
SBINDIR/slapindex
To regenerate the index for only a specific attribute, e.g. "uid", give the command:
SBINDIR/slapindex uid
ldap(3), ldif(5), slapadd(8), ldapadd(1), slapd(8)
