LDAP and "bdb_equality_candidates: not indexed"

[JeppeM]

Hey all,

I have been trying to find the solution for this problem for quite some time, but I don't think I know enough about LDAP to figure it out. My problem is that I have a server using ebox with the users and groups module. I get a lot of these errors in the log:

Jun 25 11:19:12 fileserver slapd[11493]: <= bdb_equality_candidates: (gidNumber) not indexed 
Jun 25 11:19:12 fileserver slapd[11493]: <= bdb_equality_candidates: (sambaGroupType) not indexed 
Jun 25 11:19:12 fileserver slapd[11493]: <= bdb_equality_candidates: (sambaSIDList) not indexed 
Jun 25 11:19:12 fileserver slapd[11493]: <= bdb_equality_candidates: (sambaGroupType) not indexed 
Jun 25 11:19:12 fileserver slapd[11493]: <= bdb_equality_candidates: (sambaSIDList) not indexed 
Jun 25 11:19:24 fileserver slapd[11493]: <= bdb_equality_candidates: (uid) not indexed 
Jun 25 11:19:24 fileserver slapd[11493]: <= bdb_equality_candidates: (uid) not indexed 
Jun 25 11:19:24 fileserver slapd[11493]: <= bdb_equality_candidates: (memberUid) not indexed

Now, I know that the error is related to some indexation in LDAP not being right, and I think I should run slapindex, but I'm not sure how exactly to do it, since I get some errors related to permissions if I just run slapindex as root / with sudo.

Can anyone help with this? I would think that it's a minor issue and easy to fix, but I'm not 100% sure exactly how to do it

First stop slapd then run slapindex. It should be fine.

If you get:
# Correct the ownership of the index files ..

then do as requested:

sudo chown openldap:openldap /var/lib/ldap/*

and start slapd again.

I have this index issue also.

(memberUid) not indexed
(member) not indexed
(uidNumber) not indexed

root@hs78-01:/var/lib# slapindex

WARNING!
Runnig as root!
There's a fair chance slapd will fail to start.
Check file permissions!

Looks like this didn't work, but slapd did start like usual...
