Hi, folks We've seen similar problems (and weren't sure whether the objectClass issues were part of broader indexing issues - more on that separately). We discourage the use of '(objectClass=*)' as a (partial) filter for precisely the reason Mark mentions - but one of our applications is hard-coded to use it, and our monitoring tools are highlighting that searches which contain that *partial* filter are being logged as partially unindexed: conn=3921153 op=1 SRCH base="ou=people,dc=brighton,dc=ac,dc=uk" scope=2 filter="(&(objectClass=*)(uid=USERNAME))" attrs=ALL conn=3921153 op=1 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=1 etime=0 notes=U Would you recommend we just ignore these warnings? And am I right in assuming you wouldn't recommend adding 'nsIndexType: pres' to 'cn=objectclass,cn=index,cn=userRoot,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config' as it wouldn't actually improve performance? (and would just generate a 1:1 map of every entry!) Out of interest, is there a reason why a filter which *only* includes 'objectClass=*' doesn't do that...? conn=3914283 op=1 SRCH base="uid=USERNAME,ou=People,dc=brighton,dc=ac,dc=uk" scope=0 filter="(objectClass=*)" attrs=ALL conn=3914283 op=1 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=1 etime=0 Or is that just because in this case the base is the uid (not the branch above it)?
