If you do not want to configure priming during setup, you can configure index priming manually by creating an external server, creating a global attribute index, and then changing the entry-balancing request processor to load indexes from this external server.

  1. Use the dsconfig tool to create an external server of the type PingDirectoryProxy Server to represent a peer of the Directory Proxy Server.
    $ 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"   
    
  2. Create a global attribute index on the uid attribute as follows:
    $ bin/dsconfig create-global-attribute-index \ 
      --processor-name dc_example+dc+com-eb-req-processor \
      --index-name uid \
    
  3. Change the entry-balancing request processor to load the indexes at startup from the peer Directory Proxy Server using dsconfig set-request-processor-prop as described above.
