1. Use dsconfig with the set-local-db-vlv-index-prop option and the --index-name and --backend-name properties.

    In this example, update the base-dn property.

    $ bin/dsconfig set-local-db-vlv-index-prop --index-name givenName \ 
      --backend-name userRoot --set base-dn:ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
  2. Rebuild the index using the rebuild-index tool.
    Note:

    You must add the prefix vlv. to the index name.

    The following command can be run with the server on or offline with the addition of the --task and connection options.

    $ bin/rebuild-index --baseDN dc=example,dc=com --index vlv.givenName
