12.3.1.1 Configuring Local Store Adapter General Settings

After you create the Local Store Adapter you can configure the general settings for the adapter by clicking the adapter name in the Adapter tree, clicking the General tab, setting values for the following fields, and clicking Apply: Root This field defines the root DN that the adapter provides information for. The DN defined, and the child entries below it, comprise the adapter’s namespace. The value you enter in this field should be the base DN value for returned entries. For example, if you enter dc=mydomain,dc=com in the field, all entries end with dc=mydomain,dc=com. Active An adapter can be configured as active enabled or inactive disabled. An adapter configured as inactive does not start during a server restart or an attempted adapter start. Use the inactive setting to keep old configurations available or in stand-by without having to delete them from the configuration. The default setting is active. Read-Only If you enable the Read-Only option the adapter does not accept modify transactions and is available for searching only. The default setting is disabled, that is, the adapter is in readwrite mode. The following fields appear in the Indexes section of the General tab: Presence The Presence field contains a list of attribute types whose presence in entries must be quickly identified, which is required for attrname= style search filters to operate. To add an attribute to the list, click Add, select the attribute from the dialog box that appears, and click OK on the dialog box. Exact The Exact index field contains a list of attributes for supporting searches for exact match index, for example, sn=smith. When using the ordering index, this index is redundant. To add an attribute to the list, click Add, select the attribute from the dialog box that appears, and click OK on the dialog box. Ordering The Ordering field contains a list of attributes for enabling ordering searches, such as, sn=Smith, exact searches, and initial substring searches, such as, sn=Smi. LDAP filters allow only = and = ordering relationships. and are not supported in LDAPv3. To add an attribute to the list, click Add, select the attribute from the dialog box that appears, and click OK on the dialog box. Substring The Substring option is only necessary if final substring searches are necessary, for example, sn=ith, in addition to the ordering index. Initial substring searches are often handled using the ordering index. To add an attribute to the list, click Add, select the attribute from the dialog box that appears, and click OK on the dialog box. Search Un-indexed Enables or disables low-performance searching of attributes that are not specifically indexed. If search un-indexed is disabled, searching an un-indexed attribute returns no results that is, evaluates as false.
