NOTE
The procedure for creating browsing indexes is different than for creating other
index types; that procedure is covered in Section 2.3, “Creating Browsing
Indexes from the Server Console”.
• Section 2.1, “Creating Indexes from the Server Console”
• Section 2.2, “Creating Indexes from the Command-Line”
• Section 2.3, “Creating Browsing Indexes from the Server Console”
• Section 2.4, “Creating Browsing Indexes from the Command-Line”
2.1. Creating Indexes from the Server Console
This section describes how to create presence, equality, approximate, substring, and
international indexes for specific attributes using the Directory Server Console.
To create any of these indexes, do the following:
1. Select the Configuration tab.
2. Expand the Data node, expand the suffix of the database to index, and select the database.
3. Select the Indexes tab in the right pane.
NOTE
Do not click the Database Settings node because this opens the Default Index
Settings window, not the window for configuring indexes per database.
4. If the attribute to be indexed is listed in the Additional Indexes table, go to step 6.
Otherwise, click Add Attribute to open a dialog box with a list of all of the available attributes
in the server schema.
5. Select the attribute you want to index, and click OK.
