ldapctl(8)

NAME

ldapctl – control the LDAP daemon

ldapctl [-v] [-f file] [-r directory] [-s socket] command [argument ...]

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.

The ldapctl program first appeared in OpenBSD 4.8.
