HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 configuration, command, and file reference

3.4.8.1 nsEncryptionAlgorithm
nsEncryptionAlgorithm selects the cipher used by nsAttributeEncryption. The algorithm
can be set per encrypted attribute.

3.5 Database link plug-in attributes (chaining attributes)
The database link plug-in attributes are also organized in an information tree, as shown in the
following diagram:
Figure 3-4 Database link plug-in
All plug-in technology used by the database link instances is stored in the cn=chaining
database plug-in node. This section presents the additional attribute information for the three
nodes marked in bold in the cn=chaining database, cn=plugins, cn=config
information tree in Figure 3-4 “Database link plug-in”.
3.5.1 Database link attributes under cn=config, cn=chaining database, cn=plugins,
cn=config
This section covers global configuration attributes common to all instances are stored in the
cn=config, cn=chaining database, cn=plugins, cn=config tree node.
3.5.1.1 nsActiveChainingComponents
This attribute lists the components using chaining. A component is any functional unit in the
server. The value of this attribute overrides the value in the global configuration attribute. To
disable chaining on a particular database instance, use the value None. This attribute also allows
the components used to chain to be altered. By default, no components are allowed to chain,
which explains why this attribute will probably not appear in a list of cn=config,
