[389-users] Re: Default browsing index generation

If your clients are already using that "old" VLV index, you can look under cn=config of a 1.3.x server (after creating browsing index), and simply copy the VLV entries to 1.4.x and reindex.

So do you need to know how to recreate 1.3.x VLV indexes, or do you need help defining new ones?  The issue with VLV searches is that client must use very specific controls and parameters to engage the index.  If you have to create a new or different index the client will then have to be configured to use those new parameters.
