You can force the Directory Proxy Server to prime from the backend directory server using the --fromDS option, which overrides the configuration of the prime-index-source property.

Tip:

You can do this on a one-off basis if the global index appears to be growing too large.

To prime the backend server:

  • Run the reload-index tool with the --fromDS option. 
    $ bin/reload-index --bindPassword password --baseDN "dc=example,dc=com" --fromDS
