Slapindex
is
used to regenerate slapd(8) indices based upon
the current contents of a database. It opens the given
database determined by the database number or suffix and
updates the indices for all values of all attributes of all
entries. If a list of specific attributes is provided on the
command line, only the indices for those attributes will be
regenerated. Databases configured as subordinate
of this one are
also re-indexed, unless −g
is specified.
All files eventually created by slapindex will belong to
the identity slapindex is run as, so
make sure you either run slapindex with the same
identity slapd(8) will be run as
(see option −u
in slapd(8)), or change file
ownership before running slapd(8).
−b
suffix
Use the specified suffix
to determine which
database to generate output for. The −b cannot be
used in conjunction with the −n
option.
−c
enable continue (ignore errors) mode.
−d
level
enable debugging messages as defined by the
specified level
; see slapd(8) for
details.
−f
slapd.conf
specify an alternative slapd.conf(5) file.
−F
confdir
specify a config directory. If both −f
and −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.
−g
disable subordinate gluing. Only the specified database will be processed, and not its glued subordinates (if any).
−n
dbnum
Generate output for the dbnum
−th database
listed in the configuration file. The −n
cannot be used in conjunction
with the −b
option.
−o
option[=value]
Specify an option
with a(n
optional) value
. Possible generic
options/values are:
syslog=<subsystems> (see `−s' in slapd(8)) syslog-level=<level> (see `−S' in slapd(8)) syslog-user=<user> (see `−l' in slapd(8))
−q
enable quick (fewer integrity checks) mode. Performs
no consistency checks when writing the database.
Improves indexing time, however
the database
will most likely be unusable if any errors or
interruptions occur.
−t
enable truncate mode. Truncates (empties) an index database before indexing any entries. May only be used with Quick mode.
−v
enable verbose mode.
Your slapd(8) should not be running (at least, not in read-write mode) when you do this to ensure consistency of the database.

To reindex your SLAPD database, give the command:
SBINDIR/slapindex
To regenerate the index for only a specific attribute, e.g. "uid", give the command:
SBINDIR/slapindex uid
ldap(3), ldif(5), slapadd(8), ldapadd(1), slapd(8)
