Hi,

This behavior identical to what would happen if you added this 
configuration, but didn't run slapindex.

I note that you do run slapindex. Could you confirm that slapindex is 
reading the same configuration file as slapd, maybe force it using the 
-f option? Do you see changes on the uid.bdb file in your hdb data 
directory?

Regards,
Jonathan
