8.2. Configuring & Rebuilding Indexes

You modify index configurations using the dsconfig command. The configuration changes then take effect after you rebuild the index according to the new configuration, using the rebuild-index. The dsconfig --help-database command lists subcommands for creating, reading, updating, and deleting index configuration.

[Tip] Tip

Indexes are per directory backend rather than per suffix. To maintain separate indexes for different suffixes on the same directory server, put the suffixes in different backends.
