Re: Dynamic Indexing through cn=config

What version of OL are you running?

It sounds like the new index was not built properly. How did you add the indexing? You should either

a) add the index while slapd is running by doing an ldapmodify to the database entry in cn=config

or

b) stop the slapd server, edit the config, run slapindex, and then restart the server

Any other approach will yield strange results.

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.
