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 standard input or the specified file. .LP As .B slapadd is designed to accept LDIF in database order, as produced by .BR slapcat (8), it does not verify that superior entries exist before adding an entry. .SH OPTIONS .TP .B \-v enable verbose mode. .TP .B \-c enable continue (ignore errors) mode. .TP .BI \-d " level" enable debugging messages as defined by the specified .IR level . .TP .BI \-b " suffix" Use the specified \fIsuffix\fR to determine which database to add entries to. The \-b cannot be used in conjunction with the .B \-n option. .TP .BI \-n " dbnum" Add entries to the \fIdbnum\fR\-th database listed in the configuration file. The .B \-n cannot be used in conjunction with the .B \-b option. .TP .BI \-f " slapd.conf" specify an alternative .BR slapd.conf (5) file. .TP .BI \-l " ldif-file" Read LDIF from the specified file instead of standard input. .SH LIMITATIONS Your .BR slapd (8) should not be running when you do this to ensure consistency of the database. .LP .B slapadd may not provide naming or schema checks. It is advisable to use .BR ldapadd (1) when adding new entries into an existing directory. .SH EXAMPLES To import a entries specified in file .B ldif into your .BR slapd (8) database give the command: .LP .nf .ft tt SBINDIR/slapadd -l ldif .ft .fi .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR ldap (3), .BR ldif (5), .BR slapcat (8), .BR ldapadd (1), .BR slapd (8) .LP "OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide" (http://www.OpenLDAP.org/doc/admin/) .SH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .B OpenLDAP is developed and maintained by The OpenLDAP Project (http://www.openldap.org/). .B OpenLDAP is derived from University of Michigan LDAP 3.3 Release.
