Configuring the global indexes manually

About this task

If you don’t want to configure priming during setup, you can configure the index priming manually.

To do this, create an external server, create a global attribute index, and change the entry-balancing request processor to load indexes from the external server.

Steps

To create an external server of the PingDirectoryProxy type to represent a peer of the PingDirectoryProxy server, use the dsconfig tool with the create-external-server subcommand.

Example:

$ bin/dsconfig create-external-server \
  --server-name intra-proxy-host.example.com:3389 \
  --type PingDirectoryProxy-server \
  --set server-host-name:intra-proxy-host \
  --set server-port:338 \
  --set "bind-dn:cn=Directory Manager" \
  --set "password:secret123"

Create a global attribute index on the uid attribute.

Example:

$ bin/dsconfig create-global-attribute-index \
  --processor-name dc_example+dc+com-eb-req-processor \
  --index-name uid \

To load the indexes at startup from the peer PingDirectoryProxy server, change the entry-balancing request processor using dsconfig set-request-processor-prop.
