3.4.1.28 nsslapd-search-bypass-filter-test
This attribute determines whether the backend database should take the shortest path, relying
on indexes instead of filters when assessing whether entries should be returned in response to
a search. In some cases, the backend still performs filter tests on the entry, such as when
responding to an All IDs search, or when the filter contains substrings. The default setting is on.
Do not modify this configuration.
3.4.1.29 nsslapd-search-use-vlv-index
This attribute configures the backend database to optimize complex searches in cases where a
portion of the filter matches the search filter of virtual list view (VLV) indexes that have already
been configured. The default setting is on. Do not modify this setting.
3.4.1.30 nsslapd-serial-lock
This attribute enables locking on database writes, causing update operations to be performed in
serial instead of in parallel. This improves performance by reducing occurrences of deadlocks.
The default setting is on. Do not modify this setting.
3.4.2 Database attributes under cn=monitor, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins,
cn=config
Global read-only attributes containing database statistics for monitoring activity on the databases
are stored in the cn=monitor, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins, cn=config tree node.
For more information on these entries, refer to the "Monitoring Server and Database Activity"
chapter in the HP-UX Directory Server administrator guide.
dbcachehits This attribute shows the requested pages found in the database.
dbcachetries This attribute shows the total cache lookups.
dbcachehitratio This attribute shows the percentage of requested pages found in the database
cache (hits/tries).
dbcachepagein This attribute shows the pages read into the database cache.
dbcachepageout This attribute shows the pages written from the database cache to the backing
file.
dbcacheroevict This attribute shows the clean pages forced from the cache.
dbcacherwevict This attribute shows the dirty pages forced from the cache.
3.4.3 Database attributes under cn=NetscapeRoot, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins,
cn=config and cn=userRoot, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins, cn=config
The cn=NetscapeRoot subtree contains the configuration data used by the Administration
Server for authentication and all actions that cannot be performed through LDAP (such as
start/stop), and the cn=userRoot subtree contains all the configuration data for the user-defined
data.
The cn=userRoot subtree is called userRoot by default. However, this is not hard-coded and,
given the fact that there are going to be multiple database instances, this name is changed and
defined by the user as and when new databases are added. The cn=userRoot database referenced
can be any user database.
