The set of default indexes is stored here. Default indexes are configured per
backend in order to optimize Directory Server functionality for the majority of set
up scenarios. All indexes, except system essential ones, can be removed, but care
should be taken so as not to cause unnecessary disruptions. This section presents
four required indexing attributes and one optional indexing attribute. For further
information on indexes see Chapter 10, "Managing Indexes" in the Netscape
Directory Server Administrator's Guide.
nsSystemIndex
This mandatory attribute specifies whether or not the index is a system index, that
is, an index which is vital for Directory Server 6.x operations. If this attribute has a
value of true then it is system essential. System indexes should not be removed as
this will seriously disrupt server functionality.
