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

NOTE
On HP-UX the hostname value can be a relocatable IP address.
3.1.63. nsslapd-localhost (Local Host)
This attribute specifies the host machine on which the Directory Server runs. This attribute is
used to create the referral URL that forms part of the MMR protocol. In a high-availability
configuration with failover nodes, that referral should point to the virtual name of the cluster, not
the local hostname.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config
Valid Values Any fully qualified hostname.
Default Value Hostname of installed machine.
Syntax DirectoryString
Example nsslapd-localhost: phonebook.example.com
3.1.64. nsslapd-localuser (Local User)
This attribute sets the user as whom the Directory Server runs. The group as which the user
runs is derived from this attribute by examining the user's primary group. Should the user
change, then all of the instance-specific files and directories for this instance need to be
changed to be owned by the new user, using a tool such as chown.
The value for the nsslapd-localuser is set initially when the server instance is configured.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config
Valid Values Any valid user
Default Value
Syntax DirectoryString
Example nsslapd-localuser: nobody
3.1.65. nsslapd-lockdir (Server Lock File Directory)
This is the full path to the directory the server uses for lock files. The default value is
/var/lock/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name. Changes to this value will not take effect until the
server is restarted.
