Operating System Requirements
34 Netscape Directory Server Installation Guide • October 2004
It is recommended that you set the LargeSystemCache registry key to 0 to limit
the growth of system cache. The
LargeSystemCache has a default value of 1,
which is not suitable for applications such as Directory Server, which do caching
internally.
Also, if there will be a lot of connections from clients, change the following:
•
tcp_time_wait_interval from its default value, which is 240 seconds, to 60
seconds. To do this, at Registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrectControlSet\services\Tcpip\Para
meters
, create a key TcpTimeWaitDelay with value 60.
• The upper range of ephemeral from the default value, which is
4999, to
65534. To do this, at Registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrectControlSet\services\Tcpip\Para
meters
, create a key MaxUserPort with value 65534.
