Hello Eric,

I had used openldap 2.3.26. I had added the index after starting the slapd , the first approach as you said , using ldapmodify in cn=config.

After I add it , when I restart the slapd server, the indexes , I added before is not there. It is due to , I started the server like ./slapd -d -1 -f ./slapd.conf right? But When I try starting the server using ./slapd -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d/ -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf", then also I am getting some problems after restarts.

Is this way of starting the server is correct for dynamic indexing case?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Arunachalam.

What version of OL are you running?

It sounds like the new index was not built properly. How did you add the

indexing? You should either

a) add the index while slapd is running by doing an ldapmodify to the

database entry in cn=config

or

b) stop the slapd server, edit the config, run slapindex, and then restart

the server

Any other approach will yield strange results.

Hello,

I used bdb as a backend

Started slapd with , ./slapd -h "ldap://<ip>:<port>" -F

/etc/openldap/slapd.d/ -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf"

Step 1: I added indexing on a attribute (sn), in the cn=config sub-tree,

Step 2: If I search through the tree (cn=config), the added entry is not

reflected

To Check, I added entries, it was not indexed on the added attribute

(sn.bdb

is not getting generated in bdb directory)

Step 3: When I try to add one more time , the same entry as Step 1, it

says

, entry already exists

Step 4: Now when I search cn=config tree, I am able to see the sn index

entry in olCDbIndex

Now I added entries, it was getting indexed on the added attribute (sn.bdb

is generated in bdb directory)

Please say why is this happening

Thanks a lot in advance,

Arunachalam.
