[389-users] Re: Importing Indexes via LDIF

Editing directly the dse.ldif is a solution as far as the instance is stopped but fyi:
your ldapmodify command was missing the -a option
 (or you should have directly used the ldapadd command) 

Without -a option, ldapmodify expect data like:

dn: cn=...
changetype: ...

then the modifier

 
But since your file contains plain entries without changetype

you must explicitly tell ldapmodify to add them !

Hi Pierre,

Thank you so much for the quick response.  I tried:

ldapmodify -f my_groupRoot_of_indexes.ldif -D 'cn=Directory Manager' -w password -x -H ldap://127.0.0.1:3389

But that did not seem to populate the dse.ldif file as I expected.  However, the format of the entries in the index file was the same so I stopped the service and just appended the file to the dse.ldif (cat my_groupRoot_of_indexes >> dse.ldif).  Service started right back up.  

Now to kick of a reindex.

Hi Paul,

Not using dsconf.
But  you could easily do it with ldapsearch and ldapadd  

Regards

Greetings, been a while.  

I am looking to migrate to RHEL 9 and 389-DS.  In lab stood up a  "supplier" and a "consumer".  I have index files for userRoot and groupRoot.  However, indexes appeared to be stored in dse.ldif.  Is there a way using the dsconf command to import an ldif of indexes?

Thanks,
