5.1.2.12 LDAP response type

The LDAP response type indicates the LDAP response being issued by the LDAP client. There are three possible values:

•RESULT

•ENTRY

•REFERRAL, an LDAP referral or search reference

5.1.2.13Unindexed search indicator

The unindexed search indicator, notes=U, indicates that the search performed was unindexed, which means that the database itself had to be directly searched instead of the index file. Unindexed searches occur in three scenarios:

•When the nsslapd-idlistscanlimitwas reached within the index file used for the search.

•When no index file existed.

•When the index file was not configured in the way required by the search.

NOTE:

An unindexed search indicator is often accompanied by a large etime value, as unindexed searches are generally more time consuming.

5.1.2.14 VLV-related entries

When a search involves virtual list views (VLVs), appropriate entries are logged in the access log file. Similar to the other entries, VLV-specific entries show the request and response information side by side:

VLV RequestInformation ResponseInformation

RequestInformation has the following form:

beforeCount:afterCount:index:contentCount

If the client uses a position-by-value VLV request, the format for the first part, the request information would be beforeCount:afterCount:value.

ResponseInformation has the following form:

targetPosition:contentCount (resultCode)

The example below highlights the VLV-specific entries:

[07/May/2009:11:43:29 -0700] conn=877 op=8530 SRCH base="(ou=People)" scope=2 filter="(uid=*)" [07/May/2009:11:43:29 -0700] conn=877 op=8530 SORT uid

[07/May/2009:11:43:29 -0700] conn=877 op=8530 VLV 0:5:0210 10:5397 (0) [07/May/2009:11:43:29 -0700] conn=877 op=8530 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=1 etime=0

In the above example, the first part, 0:5:0210, is the VLV request information:

•The beforeCount is 0.

•The afterCount is 5.

•The value is 0210.

The second part, 10:5397 (0), is the VLV response information:

•The targetPosition is 10.

•The contentCount is 5397.

•The (resultCode) is (0).

5.1.2.15Search scope

The entry scope=n defines the scope of the search performed, and n can have the following values:

0For base search
