You can configure standard indexes from the Control Panel, and also on the command line using the dsconfig command. After you finish configuring the index, you must rebuild the index for the changes to take effect.
Example 8.1. Create a New Index
The following example creates a new substring index for
description.
$ dsconfig create-local-db-index --port 4444 --hostname opendj.example.com --bindDN "cn=Directory Manager" --bindPassword password --backend-name userRoot --index-name description --set index-type:substring --trustAll --no-prompt
Example 8.2. Configure an Approximate Index
The following example configures an approximate index for
cn (common name).
$ dsconfig set-local-db-index-prop --port 4444 --hostname opendj.example.com --bindDN "cn=Directory Manager" --bindPassword password --backend-name userRoot --index-name cn --set index-type:approximate --trustAll --no-prompt
Example 8.3. Configure an Extensible Match Index
The OpenDJ Control Panel New Index window does not help you set up extensible matching rule indexes. Use the dsconfig command instead.
The following example configures an extensible matching rule
index for "later than" and "earlier than" generalized time matching on
a lastLoginTime attribute.
$ dsconfig create-local-db-index --port 4444 --hostname opendj.example.com --bindDN "cn=Directory Manager" --bindPassword password --backend-name userRoot --set index-type:extensible --set index-extensible-matching-rule:1.3.6.1.4.1.26027.1.4.5 --set index-extensible-matching-rule:1.3.6.1.4.1.26027.1.4.6 --index-name lastLoginTime --trustAll --no-prompt
