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

For access logging to be enabled, the nsslapd-accesslog attribute must contain a valid path,
and the nsslapd-accesslog-logging-enabled configuration attribute must be switched
to on. Table 2-2 lists the four possible combinations of values for these two configuration attributes
and their outcome in terms of disabling or enabling of access logging.

2.3.1.4 nsslapd-accesslog-logbuffering (Log buffering)
When set to off, the server writes all access log entries directly to disk. Buffering allows the
server to use access logging even when under a heavy load without significantly impacting
performance. However, when debugging, it is sometimes useful to disable buffering in order to
see the operations and their results right away instead of having to wait for the log entries to be
