#3503 Do not index objectclass, add and index objectcategory instead
Closed: Fixed Opened by jhrozek.

Closed: Fixed
Reopen Issue

At the moment, sssd indexes objectclass, which is wasteful, because it creates a single huge index with all objects in there.

Instead, we should not index objectclass and let users and groups use objectlass and also let other object types use objectcategory instead which will be indexed.

I created

https://github.com/SSSD/sssd/pull/450

for this. In contrast to the title the patches go the other way round and replace objectClass in user and group objects with a different attribute which is not indexed.
