[Samba] Adding indexing to samba AD question.

Hai, 
 
I need to add some extra indexing on my AD DB, and im not sure if what the
correct/best methode is.
And is there any reason i should not do this, i did search on the wiki, but
could not find the info i searched for.
 
I know the following. Checked the current index. ( source info :
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/LDB )
ldbsearch -H /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb  -s base -b @INDEXLIST
So i have a current list of indexes set and i did see that i miss and what i
want.

I want to index one/several of my mail attributes for zarafa/kopano.
zarafaAccount/kopanoAccount

Can someone or guide me a bit or point my to the correct info howto do this,
since i dont want to mess up my AD. ;-)

I did see an instruction for Zentyal, but vanilla samba, does not contain the
searchFlags attribute.
(source : https://exekias.me/2015/05/06/samba-indexes/ ) 
So to me the link here is not correct for me. 

Anyone? Tips examples very apriciated. 



Greetz, 

Louis

This link looks correct, setting this via searchFlags is the correct
approach.  The @INDEXLIST is then updated by Samba at or before the
next startup, triggering a re-index (possibly slow).

Also note that Samba 4.7 is much, much faster than previous versions in
the un-indexed case. 

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett

[Samba] Adding indexing to samba AD question.

Hi Louis,

I just checked and I can confirm that this does work, I have my own custom
attributes in the @INDEXLIST in my AD:

root at dc1:/# ldbsearch -H /usr/local/samba/private/sam.ldb  -s base -b
@INDEXLIST
# record 1
dn: @INDEXLIST
@IDXONE: 1
@IDXVERSION: 2
@IDXATTR: mycustomattrib1
@IDXATTR: mycustomattrib2
@IDXATTR: volTableIdxGUID
@IDXATTR: USNIntersite
@IDXATTR: uSNCreated
@IDXATTR: uSNChanged
[...]
distinguishedName: @INDEXLIST

# returned 1 records
# 1 entries
# 0 referrals

I've gone back over my notes from when I created this, and I think that in
my case I added the searchFlags: 1 attribute directly whilst adding my
custom attributes to my AD schema; but I can't imagine it wouldn't also
work if you add it later. Mine have been in place for the last 2.5 years,
at any rate.

Cheers

Jonathan
