2.3.15.6. cn=index
Directory attributes can be indexed though the command line by creating a special task entry which
defines the parameters of the task and initiates the task. As soon as the task is complete, the task entry
is removed from the directory.
T he cn=index entry is a container entry for index task operations. T he cn=index entry itself has no
attributes, but each of the task entries within this entry, such as cn=task_ID, cn=index, cn=tasks,
cn=config, uses the following attributes to define the backup task.
An index task entry under cn=index can create a standard index by identifying the attribute to be
indexed and the type of index to create, both defined in the
Alternatively, the index task can be used to generate virtual list view (VLV) indexes for an attribute using
the nsIndexVLVAttribute attribute. T his is the same as running the vlvindex script.
For example:
dn: cn=example presence index, cn=index, cn=tasks, cn=config
objectclass: extensibleObject
cn: example presence index
nsIndexAttribute: "cn:pres"
dn: cn=example VLV index, cn=index, cn=tasks, cn=config
objectclass: extensibleObject
cn: example VLV index
nsIndexVLVAttribute: "by MCC ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"
As the index operation runs, the task entry will contain all of the server-generated task attributes listed in
