Red Hat Directory Server 8.0 Configuration, Command, and File Reference

Parameter Description
Valid Range 1 to 2,147,483,647 (or -1, which means
limitless) entries
Default Value -1
Syntax Integer
Example nsslapd-cachesize: -1
4.3.2. nsslapd-cachememsize
This performance tuning-related attribute specifies the cache size in terms of available memory
space. The simplest method is limiting cache size in terms of memory occupied. Activating
automatic cache resizing overrides this attribute, replacing these values with its own guessed
values at a later stage of the server startup. 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.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=NetscapeRoot, cn=ldbm database,
cn=plugins, cn=config or cn=UserRoot,
cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins, cn=config
Valid Range 500 kilobytes to 4 gigabytes for 32-bit
platforms and 500 kilobytes to 2^64-1 for
64-bit platforms
Default Value 10,485,760 (10 megabytes)
Syntax Integer
Example nsslapd-cachememsize: 10485760
4.3.3. nsslapd-directory
This attribute specifies the path to the database instance. If it is a relative path, it starts from the
path specified by nsslapd-directory in the global database entry cn=config, cn=ldbm
database, cn=plugins, cn=config. The database instance directory is named after the
instance name and located in the global database directory, by default. After the database
instance has been created, do not modify this path, because any changes risk preventing the
server from accessing data.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=instance name, cn=ldbm database,
cn=plugins, cn=config
Valid Values Any valid path to the database instance
Default Value
