Edirectory Attribute Indexes

Edirectory Attribute Indexes

In edir, the search indexes are configured on EACH server object. They are not global settings so if you change the server that webNetwork uses then you will need to add the indexes to that server also. 

Some of the commonly used attributes that would benefit from an ldap index are: 
Email Address 
Given Name 
Group Membership 
Member 
ObjectClass 
surname 
swareAdminPanels 
swareAlias
swareAssignedComponents 
swareAssignedLinks 
swareAssignedNodes 
swareAssignedTo 
swareAssignedUsers 
swareAvailablePanels 
swareBrowseClass 
swareComponentLayout 
swareCookies 
swareDocumentEditor 
swareDocumentNotify 
swareDocumentOwner 
swareDocumentViewer 
swareFavorites 
swareFlags 
swareMimeMap 
swareReportOwner 
swareWebApplications 
UniqueID 
swareGUID 



Some of these may already be indexed by the system, others you would add using 
imanager or consoleone. The index can be changed using console one by finding 
the appropriate server object in the tree and open that. In consoleone, there 
should be an INDEX tab. Similar results if using imanager. 

When you add them as an index it will ask for Index Name, Attribute and Rule. 
Make the name the same as the attribute and set the Rule to VALUE. 

Save your changes and wait about 20 min for things to index. The bigger the tree the longer it may take. 

This has to be done to each edir server that stoneware talks to.
