Dynamic Indexing through cn=config

[Arunachalam Parthasarathy <arunachalamp@huawei.com>]

Hello,

 

I used bdb as a backend

Started slapd with ,  ./slapd -h "ldap://<ip>:<port>" -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d/ -f  /etc/openldap/slapd.conf”

Step 1: I added indexing on a attribute (sn), in the cn=config sub-tree,

Step 2: If I search through the tree (cn=config), the added entry is not reflected

To Check, I added entries, it was not indexed on the added attribute (sn.bdb is not getting generated in bdb directory)

Step 3: When I try to add one more time , the same entry as Step 1, it says , entry already exists

Step 4: Now when I search cn=config tree, I am able to see the sn index entry in olCDbIndex

Now I added entries, it was getting indexed on the added attribute (sn.bdb is generated in bdb directory)

 

Please say why is this happening

 

Thanks a lot in advance,

Arunachalam.
