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 it removed from the directory.
The cn=index entry is a container entry for index task operations. The 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 “nsIndexAttribute” attribute.
Alternatively, the index task can be used to generate virtual list view (VLV) indexes for an
attribute using the “nsIndexVLVAttribute” attribute. This is the same as running the vlvindex
script.
For example:
dn: cn=example presence index, cn=index, cn=tasks, cn=config
objectclass: nsDirectoryServerTask
cn: example presence index
nsIndexAttribute: "cn:pres"
dn: cn=example VLV index, cn=index, cn=tasks, cn=config
objectclass: nsDirectoryServerTask
cn: example VLV index
nsIndexVLVAttribute: "by MCC ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"
As the index operation runs, the task entry will contain all the server-generated task attributes
listed in “Task invocation attributes for entries under cn=tasks”.
nsIndexAttribute This attribute gives the name of the attribute to index and the types of indexes
to apply. The format of the attribute value is the attribute name and a comma-separated list of
index types, enclosed in double quotation marks. For example:
