Jeff,
Are you saying you never retrieve data from your ldap server? Any type of data retrieval requires a filter.
Can you provide me any type of data on how you pull data from your server (I assume you must be pulling data from it.. Storing data and never accessing it makes no sense..)?
Sounds like he's doing base searches on specific DNs, and the filter defaults to (objectclass=*) when nothing else is provided. In this case, attribute indexing is irrelevant since only the DN is being used to locate the entry of interest.
Howard,
