Indexes
Submit your index change requests through the service request form, accessible from the Support & Community page.
About this task
Indexes improve database search performance and provide consistent search rates, regardless of the number of database objects stored in the Directory Information Tree (DIT), and are associated with attributes within your schema. To add an index, attributes must already exist in the schema defined for your directory. To delete an index, ensure that data is removed from user entries prior to it being deleted or data modification issues and application errors will exist.
For additional information, refer to Working with Indexes in the PingDirectory Server Administration Guide.
