"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=7 op=4 SRCH base="cn=masters,cn=ipa,cn=etc,dc=example,dc=org" scope=2 filter="(&(objectClass=ipaConfigObject)(cn=CA))" attrs=ALL [09/Jun/2015:16:05:09 +0200] conn=7 op=4 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=2 etime=0 [09/Jun/2015:16:05:09 +0200] conn=3 op=7 SRCH base="ou=certificateRepository,ou=ca,o=ipaca" scope=1 filter="(&(serialno=*))" attrs=ALL [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=7 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=1 etime=0 notes=U [09/Jun/2015:16:05:09 +0200] conn=3 op=8 SRCH base="ou=certificateRepository,ou=ca,o=ipaca" scope=1 filter="(&(serialno=*))" attrs=ALL [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 VLV 0:10:0:14 1:14 (0) [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
The problem was fixed in #1449 without requiring database changes.
