.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
.B Slapauth
is used to check the behavior of the slapd in mapping identities
for authentication and authorization purposes, as specified in
.BR slapd.conf (5).
It opens the
.BR slapd.conf (5)
configuration file or the
.BR slapd\-config (5)
backend, reads in the
.BR authz\-policy / olcAuthzPolicy
and
.BR authz\-regexp / olcAuthzRegexp
directives, and then parses the
.I ID
list given on the command-line.
.LP
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.BI \-d \ debug-level
enable debugging messages as defined by the specified
.IR debug-level ;
see
.BR slapd (8)
for details.
.TP
.BI \-f \ slapd.conf
specify an alternative
.BR slapd.conf (5)
file.
.TP
.BI \-F \ confdir
specify a config directory.
If both
.B \-f
and
.B \-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.
.TP
.BI \-M \ mech
specify a mechanism.
.TP
.BI \-o \ option\fR[ = value\fR]
Specify an
.I option
with a(n optional)
.IR value .
Possible generic options/values are:
.LP
.nf
syslog=<subsystems> (see `\-s' in slapd(8))
syslog\-level=<level> (see `\-S' in slapd(8))
syslog\-user=<user> (see `\-l' in slapd(8))
.fi
.TP
.BI \-R \ realm
specify a realm.
.TP
.BI \-U \ authcID
specify an ID to be used as
.I authcID
throughout the test session.
If present, and if no
.I authzID
is given, the IDs in the ID list are treated as
.IR authzID .
.TP
.BI \-X \ authzID
specify an ID to be used as
.I authzID
throughout the test session.
If present, and if no
.I authcID
is given, the IDs in the ID list are treated as
.IR authcID .
If both
.I authcID
and
.I authzID
are given via command line switch, the ID list cannot be present.
.TP
.B \-v
enable verbose mode.
.SH EXAMPLES
The command
.LP
.nf
.ft tt
SBINDIR/slapauth \-f /ETCDIR/slapd.conf \-v \\

.ft
.fi
tests whether the user
.I bjorn
can assume the identity of the user
.I bjensen
provided the directives
.LP

authz\-policy from
authz\-regexp "^uid=([^,]+).*,cn=auth$"
"ldap:///dc=example,dc=net??sub?uid=$1"
