I'd start with 
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Directory_Server/9.0/html-single/Administration_Guide/index.html#Managing_Indexes-About_Indexes

Note that you'll want to create the same index on all hosts. This 
configuration is not replicated.

You can see the ones we create in /usr/share/ipa/indices.ldif and 
/usr/share/ipa/updates/20-indices.update
