Change from a Sun ONE Directory Server causes index loss

After an initial installation that uses the Sun ONE Directory Server, changing to another LDAP server causes the loss of certain indexes.

Add the missing indexes manually to the new LDAP server from the er-indexes.conf file on the initial LDAP server. Complete these tasks from the Sun ONE Directory Server administration console:

1. Navigate to Data=itim_suffix. For example, itim_suffix is a value such as dc=com.

   dc denotes Domain Component.

2. Click Add attributes.
3. Add the following attributes:

   index erparent eq 
   index erroles eq 
   index erservice eq
   index ersupervisor eq
   index ersponsor eq
   index erhost eq 
   index erauthorizationowner eq 
   index erprerequisite eq 
   index erenabled eq 
   index errolename pres,eq
   index eraliases eq,sub
   index erservicename pres,eq,sub
   index erobjectprofilename pres,eq
   index ercustomclass eq
   index eroid eq
   index erisdeleted pres
   index erpolicyitemname pres,eq,sub
   index erlabel eq,sub
   index erkeywords eq,sub 
   index erpolicytarget eq,sub
   index erreqpolicytarget eq,sub
   index erpolicymembership eq,sub
   index eroverride eq
   index eruserclass eq
   index erprocessname pres,eq
   index eracl pres
   index eruid eq,sub
   index erdraft eq
   index erscope pres
   index ersystemrolecategory eq
   index erversionid eq
   index erglobalid eq
   index eradministrator eq
   index ercategory eq
   index erformname eq
   index erpersonstatus eq
   index eraccessdescription eq
   index eraccessname eq
   index ertype eq
   index erword eq
   index o eq,sub
   index ou eq,sub
   index owner eq
   index l eq,sub
   index manager eq
   index description eq,sub
   index ergroupdescription eq
