Unless you arevery experienced in LDAP administration, do not manually modify the server schema.See Chapter 14 for an extended list of schemas used by the LDAP naming service.Using Browsing IndexesThe browsing index functionality of the Sun Java System Directory Server, otherwiseknown as the virtual list view (VLV), provides a way in which a client can view aselect group or number of entries from very long list, thus making the search processless time consuming for each client. Browsing indexes provide optimized, predefinedsearch parameters with which the Solaris LDAP naming client can access specificinformation from the various services more quickly. Keep in mind that if you do notcreate browsing indexes, the clients may not get all the entries of a given type becausethe server limits for search time or number of entries might be enforced.VLV indexes are configured on the directory server and the proxy user has read accessto these indexes.Before configuring browsing indexes on the Sun Java System Directory Server,consider the performance cost associated with using these indexes. For moreinformation, refer to the Administration Guide for the version of Sun Java SystemDirectory Server that you are using.idsconfig creates entries for several VLV indexes. Use the directoryserverscript to stop the server and to create the actual VLV indexes. See the idsconfig(1M)and the directoryserver(1M) man pages for more information. Refer to the outputof the idsconfig command to determine the VLV entries created by idsconfig andthe syntax of the corresponding directoryserver commands that you need to run.See “Example idsconfig Setup” on page 167 for sample idsconfig output.164 System Administration Guide: Naming and Directory Services (DNS, NIS, and LDAP) • January 2005
