ID list scan limit

A size limit which is globally applied to any indexed search operation. When the size of an

 

individual ID list reaches this limit, the server replaces that ID list with an all IDs token.

index key

Each index that the directory uses is composed of a table of index keys and matching entry ID

 

lists.

indirect CoS

An indirect CoS identifies the template entry using the value of one of the target entry's attributes.
