15.1 Creating Index

To create a new Index:

  1. Click the Index Management option from the Identity Console landing page.

  2. Click the icon.

  3. Enter the Index Name.

  4. Select the server(s) from the list of available NCP servers.

  5. Select the required attribute(s).

  6. Select the index rule:

    1. Substring: This matches a subset of the attribute value string. For example, a query to find a LastName with “der” would return matches for Derington, Anderson, and Lauder. A substring index is the most resource-intensive index to create and maintain.

    2. Presence: This requires only the presence of an attribute rather than specific attribute values. A query to find all entries with a Login Script attribute would use a presence index.

    3. Value: This matches the entire value or the first part of the value of an attribute. For example, value matching could be used to find entries with a LastName that is equal to “Jensen” and entries with a LastName that begins with “Jen.”

  7. Click the button.

  8. A confirmation appears indicating the index has been created.
