#1449 pki cert-find could be time consuming: add VLV index for new installations
Closed: Fixed None Opened 8 years ago by mharmsen.

"ipa cert-find" and "pki cert-find" commands with no additional parameters could be very time consuming if there are too many certificates.

The problem is that the query the commands are doing to the dirsrv instance is not matching any exisiting vlvindex. So, the query is unindexed.

Steps to Reproduce:

do "pki cert-find" and see the access logs. We should find something like:

[09/Jun/2015:16:05:09 +0200] conn=7 op=2 BIND dn="" method=sasl version=3 mech=GSSAPI
[09/Jun/2015:16:05:09 +0200] conn=7 op=2 RESULT err=0 tag=97 nentries=0 etime=0 dn="uid=admin,cn=users,cn=accounts,dc=example,dc=org"
[09/Jun/2015:16:05:09 +0200] conn=7 op=3 SRCH base="cn=ipaconfig,cn=etc,dc=example,dc=org" scope=0 filter="(objectClass=*)" attrs=ALL
[09/Jun/2015:16:05:09 +0200] conn=7 op=3 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=1 etime=0

[09/Jun/2015:16:05:09 +0200] conn=3 op=7 SORT serialno (14)
[09/Jun/2015:16:05:09 +0200] conn=3 op=7 VLV 0:10:A 14:14 (0)

[09/Jun/2015:16:05:09 +0200] conn=3 op=8 SORT serialno (14)

[09/Jun/2015:16:05:09 +0200] conn=3 op=8 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=11 etime=0 notes=U
[09/Jun/2015:16:05:10 +0200] conn=3 op=9 SRCH base="ou=certificateRepository,ou=ca,o=ipaca" scope=1 filter="(&(serialno=*))" attrs=ALL
[09/Jun/2015:16:05:10 +0200] conn=3 op=9 SORT serialno (14)
[09/Jun/2015:16:05:10 +0200] conn=3 op=9 VLV 0:10:10:14 11:14 (0)
[09/Jun/2015:16:05:10 +0200] conn=3 op=9 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=4 etime=1 notes=U
[09/Jun/2015:16:05:10 +0200] conn=7 op=5 UNBIND
[09/Jun/2015:16:05:10 +0200] conn=7 op=5 fd=92 closed - U1

all the searches showing "notes=U"

The query 

base="ou=certificateRepository,ou=ca,o=ipaca" scope=1 filter="(&(serialno=*))"

is not matching any vlvindex.

Additional info:

Workaround is to add a new vlvindex like this:

---------------------------------------------------------
dn: cn=allCertsSerial-pki-tomcat,cn=ipaca,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
objectClass: top
objectClass: vlvSearch
vlvFilter: (&(serialno=*))
vlvScope: 1
vlvBase: ou=certificateRepository,ou=ca,o=ipaca
cn: allCertsSerial-pki-tomcat
numSubordinates: 1

dn: cn=allCertsSerial-pki-tomcatIndex,cn=allCertsSerial-pki-tomcat,cn=ipaca,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
vlvUses: 0
vlvEnabled: 0
vlvSort: serialno
objectClass: top
objectClass: vlvIndex
cn: allCertsSerial-pki-tomcatIndex
-------------------------------------------------------------

+ apply it:


/var/lib/dirsrv/scripts-EXAMPLE-ORG/vlvindex -n ipaca -T  allCertsSerial-pki-tomcatIndex

Alternatively the pki cert-find command can be modified to match an existing VLV:

dn: cn=allCerts-{instanceId}, cn={database}, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins, cn=config
objectClass: top
objectClass: vlvSearch
cn: allCerts-{instanceId}
vlvBase: ou=certificateRepository,ou=ca,{rootSuffix}
vlvScope: 1
vlvFilter: (certstatus=*)

Fixed in master: ac5447a8e0bac5112882be700a17a9274e322adc
