11.4.3 Deleting browsing indexes from the server console
To delete a browsing index through the Directory Server Console:
1. Select the Directory tab.
2. Select the entry from which to delete the index in the navigation tree, and select Delete
Browsing Index from the Object menu.
Alternatively, select and right-click the entry of the index to delete in the navigation tree,
then choose Delete Browsing Index from the pop-up menu.
3. A Delete Browsing Index dialog box appears asking you to confirm the deletion of the
index. Click Yes.
4. The Delete Browsing Index dialog box appears displaying the status of the index deletion.
11.4.4 Deleting browsing indexes from the command line
Deleting a browsing index or virtual list view (VLV) index from the command line involves two
steps:
1. Using the ldapdelete to delete browsing index entries or edit existing browsing index
entries (“Deleting a browsing index entry”).
2. Running the vlvindex script to generate the new set of browsing indexes to be maintained
by the server (“Running the vlvindex script”).
Alternatively, launch an appropriate task under cn=tasks, cn=config (“Using a cn=tasks
entry to create a browsing index”).
The actual entries for an alphabetical browsing index and virtual list view are the same. The
following sections describe the steps involved in deleting browsing indexes.
11.4.4.1 Deleting a browsing index entry
Use the ldapdelete command line utility to either delete browsing indexing entries or edit
existing browsing index entries. To delete browsing indexes for a particular database, remove
the browsing index entries from the cn=index,cn=database_name,cn=ldbm
database,cn=plugins,cn=config entry, where cn=database_name corresponds to the
name of the database.
For example, there is a browsing index for accelerating ldapsearch operations on the entry
ou=People,dc=example,dc=com. It held in the Example1 database where the search base
is ou=People,dc=example,dc=com, the search filter is
(|(objectclass=*)(objectclass=ldapsubentry)), the scope is 1, and the sorting order
for the returned attributes is cn, givenName, o, ou, and sn.
1. Run ldapdelete.
ldapdelete -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w secret -h ExampleServer
-p 389 "cn=MCC ou=People dc=example dc=com, cn=userRoot, cn=ldbm database,
cn=plugins, cn=config"
"cn=by MCC ou=People dc=example dc=com,cn=MCC ou=People
dc=example dc=com, cn=userRoot, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins, cn=config"
