Hello!

What are the disadvantages of indexing a lot of attributes? I know that indexing a sql db can slow down writes if you do it too much but it helps on reads. Does the same apply for ldap or are there any other things to be aware of ?

I really dont care how slow writes are. Writes don't happen all that often for me.

Thank you for your input!
