Re: Problems Indexing

[Kevin Kovach <ko...@gmail.com>]

I've run into this error trying to add a new index for a custom attribute.
Are you saying here that custom attributes cannot be indexed?

Also, this NPE still seems to be present in 1.5.4  I looked in JIRA and did
not see a bug report for it.  I would be happy to fill one out if you
believe it has not been fixed?  Thanks.

Ok,  that was easy : you can't create an index on an attribute which 
does not define an Equality matching rule. Sadly, we don't test that 
this mathcing rule does not exist, and we assume it exists, leading to a 
NPE when trying to use it...

It will be fixed quickly.

I have fixed the initial error, in trunk, and I think there is another 
one when one try to add an index on an existing base. This I have to 
check too.

You can build the server from trunk, it should work even if you don't 
add an index.

I have the same NPE :/

Yes, a JIRA for tracability would be cool.

I'm working on the problem...
