3.4 .3.10. vlvIndex (Object Class)
A browsing index or virtual list view (VLV) index dynamically generates an abbreviated index of entry
headers that makes it much faster to visually browse large indexes. A VLV index definition has two parts:
one which defines the index and one which defines the search used to identify entries to add to the
index. The vlvIndex object class defines the index entry.
This object class is defined in Directory Server.
