Hello:

I'm new to  openldap and  just finished installing it  from the ubuntu repository , I added  a set of records and now would like to add indexing on some of the record attributes .

I read extensively  on how to do this , however  every attempt  ends in failure , I'm not grasping  the procedures correctly.

I'm using Openldap 2.4  that uses the cn=config  method of  configuration instead of the slapd.conf file.

I created  an ldif file containing :

dn: olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config
add: olcDbIndex
olcDbIndex: cdmadauserstatus eq

using : sudo ldapmodify -Q -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -f AddIndexs.ldif

it respons with :
ldapmodify: wrong attributeType at line 3, entry "olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config"


Can someone please  show me a example of the correct syntax and proper  commands to add indexs ?

The documentation is pretty clear how to do it using the older method of the config file , but
I can't seem to find any working examples  of using the new dynamic way . My time is running out
I'll have to dump every thing and start   with a re build from source if I can't find an answer.

thank you for your assistance.

Greg
