NAME

ldapctl — control the LDAP daemon

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The ldapctl program controls the ldapd(8) daemon.

The options are as follows:

-f file

Use file as the configuration file, instead of the default /etc/ldapd.conf.

-r directory

Store and read database files in directory, instead of the default /var/db/ldap.

-s socket

Use socket instead of the default /var/run/ldapd.sock to communicate with ldapd(8).

-v

Produce more verbose output.

The commands are as follows:

stats

Show statistics counters.

log brief

Disable verbose debug logging.

log verbose

Enable verbose debug logging.

compact

Compact all databases. ldapd(8) does not have to be running. When compaction of a database file is complete, a special marker is appended to the database file that tells ldapd(8) to reopen the file and perform new requests against the compacted database. A write transaction is opened to force other processes to buffer write requests while performing compaction. Read requests are handled without disruption.

index

Re-index all databases. ldapd(8) does not have to be running.
