Description Sönke Schwardt-Krummrich

We recently had two cases where it would have made sense to automatically recreate (certain) LDAP indexes when updating LDAP schemas.
Case 1) concerned an OID collision and case 2) concerned a change in the object class hierarchies.
In both cases, incorrect search results can be expected after the LDAP schemes have been adapted. This then applies to all UCS-DCs that have to rebuild their indexes almost simultaneously (during/after schema replication).

Please note that the slapd must be switched off when reindexing and that the availability of executable LDAP servers in the domain could then become a problem if all system update their indexes "simultaneously".
