Default Indexes (Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 Reference)

Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 Reference

Default Indexes

When you create a new suffix in your directory, the server configures a set of default indexes in the corresponding database directory. The default indexes can be modified depending on your indexing needs, although you should ensure that no server plug-ins or other servers in your enterprise depend on an indexed attribute before you eliminate index.

Table 6–2 lists the default indexes that are configured in Directory Server.
