[389-users] Re: Default browsing index generation

Thanks for that. That presents a problem of sorts as I am going to have to try to design a suitable VLV index for a very aggressive 3^rd party client application.

Hopefully the vendor can be of assistance.

Thanks for the reply. Is it possible to find out exactly what the "create browsing index" feature in management console actually did? Whatever it was it worked for us and I'm having a hard time recreating the function.

The old java console created specific VLV indexes for "itself" (not for other clients).  So you could browse the Directory Tree in the java console without terrible performance hits.  So the VLV search/indexes it created were specific to the forms the console used.  Of course clients could use these VLV indexes, but they were only designed to be used by the console.

HTH,

Mark

in the web UI, it should be under "Database | Suffixes | dc=xx | VLV Indexes"

to create a VLV index "Database | Suffixes | dc=xx | VLV Indexes | Create VLV Index"

 

to re-index an existing VLV index "Database | Suffixes | dc=xx | VLV Indexes |  select an existing VLV index | Action=Reindex VLV Index"

-> popup window "Are you sure you want to reindex this VLV index?

carlicense

NO YES

->

Successfully completed VLV indexing

 

using the command line, for example with an instance-name called m1:

 

create some "dummy-non-sense-example" VLV index:

dsconf m1 backend vlv-index add-search --name=test1 --search-base=ou=people,dc=example,dc=test --search-filter=carlicense=6ZBC246 --search-scope=2 dc=example,dc=test

dsconf m1 backend vlv-index add-index --sort roomNumber --parent-name test1 --index-name indextest1  userroot

 

dsconf m1 backend vlv-index list userroot

( nothing )

 

dsconf m1 backend vlv-index reindex --index-name carlicense-index --parent-name carlicense userroot

Index task index_vlv_12292021_162709 completed successfully

Hi,

 

We're looking at 389 DS v1.4. Is there an equivalent in the linux 8 cockpit to the feature that used to exist in the v 1.3 management console such that it can create default browsing indexes?

In the old GUI it was simply a case of right-click and go which did offer a certain level of convenience. So far I have not found an equivalent in cockpit.

 

Currently most of my potential LDAP clients are unable to browse the directory with the usual "Unwilling to perform: search is not indexed".

 

TIA

 

Joe
