NAME¶

db2index.pl - Directory Server perl script for indexing a database

SYNOPSIS¶

db2index.pl [-Z serverID] [-D rootdn] { -w password | -w - | -j filename } [-n backendname] [-P protocol] [-t attributeName[:indextypes[:matchingrules]]] [-T vlvTag] [-h]

DESCRIPTION¶

Indexes attributes in the specified database. If no attributes are specified, then all the attribute indexes will be regenerated. The Directory Server must be started prior to running this script.

OPTIONS¶

A summary of options is included below:

-Z Server Identifier

The server ID of the Directory Server instance. If there is only one instance on the system, this option can be skipped.

-D Root DN

The Directory Manager DN, or root DN. If not specified, the script will search the server instance configuration for the value.

-w password

The rootdn password.

-w -

Prompt for the rootdn password.

-j password filename

The name of the file that contains the root DN password.

-n Backend Name

The name of the LDBM database to restore. Example: userRoot

-t attributeName[:indextypes[:matchingrules]]

The attribute to index. Optionally you can specify a comma separated list of index types: eq, sub, pres, and approx. An optional matching rule OID can also be set.

-T vlvTag

This is the name of the vlv index entry under cn=config.

-P Protocol

The connection protocol to connect to the Directory Server. Protocols are STARTTLS, LDAPS, LDAPI, and LDAP. If this option is skipped, the most secure protocol that is available is used. For LDAPI, AUTOBIND is also available for the root user.

-h

Display usage

EXAMPLE¶

db2index.pl -n userRoot -D 'cn=directory manager' -w password -t uid:eq,pres,sub:1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.27.9.4.76.1 -t cn:eq,pres

db2index.pl -Z instance3

db2index.pl -Z instance2 -w password -s 'dc=example,dc=com' -t uid:eq:pres:sub -t sn -P STARTTLS

Note: security must be enabled to use protocol STARTTLS. If STARTTLS is not available it will default to next strongest/available protocol automatically.

DIAGNOSTICS¶

Exit status is zero if no errors occur. Errors result in a non-zero exit status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.
