bdb_equality_candidates: (memberUid) not indexed


For Precise 12.04

sudo /etc/init.d/slapd stop


#Open the right OpenLDAP config file with an editor:
sudo nano /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn\=config/olcDatabase\=\{1\}hdb.ldif


#Add new lines (after the one with olcDbIndex: objectClass eq in it) for the missing indexes. Eg.:

olcDbIndex: cn eq
olcDbIndex: gidNumber eq
olcDbIndex: memberUid eq
olcDbIndex: uid eq
olcDbIndex: uidNumber eq
olcDbIndex: uniqueMember eq

#Run the OpenLDAP indexer for your configuration:

sudo slapindex -F /etc/ldap/slapd.d/

#will get an permission error so
#Fix file permissions in your OpenLDAP database:

sudo chown -R openldap:openldap /var/lib/ldap

#Start the LDAP server:
sudo /etc/init.d/slapd start

from http://ilostmynotes.blogspot.com/2009/08/eliminating-openldap-uid-not-indexed.html

echo "dn: olcDatabase={1}hdb,cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: olcDbIndex

sudo /etc/init.d/slapd stop
sudo su -s /bin/bash -c slapindex openldap
sudo /etc/init.d/slapd start

For Hardy
from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAP-SambaPDC-OrgInfo-Posix

/etc/ldap/slapd.conf in the database definitions section (ie. after the first database directive).

# Indices to maintain for this database
index objectClass eq,pres
index ou,cn,sn,mail,givenname eq,pres,sub
index uidNumber,gidNumber,memberUid eq,pres
index loginShell eq,pres
# I also added this line to stop warning in syslog ..
index uniqueMember eq,pres
## required to support pdb_getsampwnam
index uid pres,sub,eq

Following this, stop the LDAP server, run slapindex, and restart the LDAP server.

sudo /etc/init.d/slapd stop

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

# Correct the ownership of the index files ..
sudo chown openldap:openldap /var/lib/ldap/*
sudo /etc/init.d/slapd start
