3.1.91. nsslapd-security (Security)
This attribute sets whether the Directory Server is to accept SSL/TLS communications on its
encrypted port. This attribute should be set to on for secure connections. To run with security

3.1.92. nsslapd-sizelimit (Size Limit)
This attribute sets the maximum number of entries to return from a search operation. If this limit
is reached, ns-slapd returns any entries it has located that match the search request, as well
as an exceeded size limit error.
When no limit is set, ns-slapd returns every matching entry to the client regardless of the
number found. To set a no limit value whereby the Directory Server waits indefinitely for the
search to complete, specify a value of -1 for this attribute in the dse.ldif file.
This limit applies to everyone, regardless of their organization.
NOTE
A value of -1 on this attribute in dse.ldif file is the same as leaving the attribute
blank in the server console, in that it causes no limit to be used. This cannot
have a null value in dse.ldif file, as it is not a valid integer. It is possible to set it
