LDAPCTL(8)

NAME
ldapctl - LDAP daemon control program

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

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.

-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.

FILES
/var/run/ldapd.sock
    default ldapctl control socket
/etc/ldapd.conf
    default ldapd(8) configuration file
