Configuring system index preloading

You can configure system index preloading to reduce the PingDirectory server’s startup time.

About this task

Some environments have many indexes configured though only a few are used for performance-sensitive traffic.

Steps

Preload only the necessary indexes into the database at startup.

Example:

$ bin/dsconfig set-backend-prop --backend-name userRoot \
  --set prime-method:preload \
  --set prime-all-indexes:false \
  --set system-index-to-prime:dn2id \
  --set system-index-to-prime:id2entry

$ bin/dsconfig set-local-db-index-prop --backend-name userRoot \
  --index-name mail \
  --set prime-index:true

$ bin/dsconfig set-local-db-index-prop --backend-name userRoot \
  --index-name uid \
  --set prime-index:true

$ bin/dsconfig set-local-db-index-prop --backend-name userRoot \
  --index-name entryUUID \
  --set prime-index:true

To apply the changes, restart the PingDirectory server.
1. Run bin/stop-server.
2. Run bin/start-server.
