Adding custom LDAP Indices

Sometimes, when using things like the NIS and Samba functionality with ZCS, it is desired to add additional indices to the LDAP database. To do this requires manual modification of the configuration using ldapmodify commands. For example, to add the necessary indices for the NIS functionality, one would do the following on each LDAP server as the zimbra user:

# Get the ldap_root_password value
zmlocalconfig -s ldap_root_password

# Start the modification:
ldapmodify -x -H ldapi:/// -LLL -D cn=config -W

# This will prompt for the password.  Enter the value for ldap_root_password
