10.2.3. Creating Browsing Indexes from the Server Console
A virtual list view (VLV) index is a way of creating a truncated list for faster searching while enhancing
server performance. The VLV index itself can be resource-intensive to maintain, but it can be
beneficial in large directories (over 1000 entries).
A browsing index is a type of VLV index that organizes the entries listed into alphabetical order,
making it easier to find entries. To create a browsing index using the Directory Server Console, do the
following:
1. Select the
Directory
tab.
2. In the left navigation tree, select the entry, such as
People
, for which to create the index.
3. From the
Object
menu, select
Create Browsing Index
.
The
Create Browsing Index
dialog box appears displaying the status of the index creation. Click
the
Status Logs
box to view the status of the indexes created.
4. Click
Close
.
The new index is immediately active for any new data that is added to the directory. You do not have to
restart your server.
For more information on how to change the VLV search information or the access control rules that
are set by default for VLV searches, see
Section 10.2.4.1, “Adding a Browsing Index Entry”
and
Section 10.2.4.3, “Setting Access Control for VLV Information”
.
10.2.4. Creating Browsing Indexes from the Command-Line
Creating a browsing index or virtual list view (VLV) index from the command-line has these steps:
1. Using
ldapmodify
to add new browsing index entries or edit existing browsing index entries. See
Section 10.2.4.1, “Adding a Browsing Index Entry”
.
2. Running the
vlvindex
script to generate the new set of browsing indexes to be maintained by
the server. See
Section 10.2.4.2, “Running the vlvindex Script”
.
3. Ensuring that access control on VLV index information is set appropriately. See
Section 10.2.4.3,
“Setting Access Control for VLV Information”
.
10.2.4.1. Adding a Browsing Index Entry
The type of browsing index entry to create depends on the type of
ldapsearch
attribute sorting to
accelerate. It is important to take the following into account:
• The scope of the search (base, one, sub)
• The base of the search (the entry to use as a starting point for the search)
• The attributes to sort
• The filter of the search
For more information on specifying filters for searches, see
Appendix B, Finding Directory Entries
