Installing And Configuring LDAP-UX Client Services
Import Name Service Data into Your Directory
Chapter 2 25
The Look-through limit specifies the maximum number of directory
entries to examine before aborting the search operation. The Size limit
determines the maximum number of entries to return to any query
before aborting. The All-IDs-Threshold specifies the number of entries
that can be maintained for an index key. In general, it is bad practice to
have an extremely large All-ID’s threashold, as it can dramatically
increase the size of your directory server’s database. However, if you
have a large number of posixAccounts, posixGroups or other form of RFC
2307 data that needs to be enumerated and you also have other large
sets of data in your directory server, increasing the All-UID’s threashold
to above the maximum number of posixAccounts, posixGroups, or others,
can dramatically increase enumeration performance.
For information on these parameters and how to change them, see the
Netscape Directory Server Administrator’s Guide. See also “Minimizing
Enumeration Requests” on page 125.
Step 11. If you want to enable SSL support with LDAP-UX, you need to turn on
SSL in your directory server. For detailed information on how to set up
and configure your Netscape Directory Server to enable SSL
communication over LDAP, see “Managing SSL Chapter” in the
Administrator’s Guide for Netscape Directory Server at

Import Name Service Data into Your
Directory
The next step is to import your name service data into your LDAP
Directory. Here are some considerations when planning this:
• If you have already imported data into your directory with the
NIS/LDAP Gateway product, LDAP-UX Client Services can use that
data and you can skip to “Configure the LDAP-UX Client Services”
on page 27.
