3.4 Database plug-in attributes
The database plug-in is also organized in an information tree, as shown in Figure 3-1 “Database
plug-in”.
Figure 3-1 Database plug-in
All plug-in technology used by the database instances is stored in the cn=ldbm database
plug-in node. This section presents the additional attribute information for each of the nodes in
bold in the cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins, cn=config information tree.
3.4.1 Database attributes under cn=config, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins, cn=config
This section covers global configuration attributes common to all instances are stored in the
cn=config, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins, cn=config tree node.
3.4.1.1 nsLookthroughLimit
This performance-related attribute specifies the maximum number of entries that the Directory
Server will check when examining candidate entries in response to a search request. The Directory
Manager DN, however, is, by default, unlimited and overrides any other settings specified here.
It is worth noting that binder-based resource limits work for this limit, which means that if a
value for the operational attribute nsLookThroughlimit is present in the entry as which a
user binds, the default limit will be overridden. Attempting to set a value that is not a number
or is too big for a 32-bit signed integer returns an LDAP_UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM error message
with additional error information explaining the problem.
