dn: cn=config
nsslapd-maxbersize
Sets the maximum size in bytes for an incoming message.
Directory Server rejects requests to add entries larger than this
limit.
If you are confident you can accurately anticipate maximum
entry size for yourdirectory data,consider changing thisvalue
from the default of 2097152 (2 MB) to the size of the largest
expected directory entry.
dn: cn=config
nsslapd-maxthreadsperconn
Sets the maximum number of threads per client connection.
Someapplications,suchas messagingservers,may open apool
of connections and may issue many requests on each
connection.Ideally,you mightdedicatea replica to supportthe
application in this case. If that is not possible, consider bind
DN-based limits.
If you anticipate that some applications may perform many
requests per connection, consider increasing this value from
the default of 5, but do not increase it to more than 10. It is
typically not advisable to specify more than 10 threads per
connection.
dn: cn=config
nsslapd-sizelimit
Sets the maximum number of entries Directory Server returns
in response to a search request.
Some applications, such as messaging servers, may need to
search the entire directory. Ideally, you might dedicate a
replica to support the application in this case. If that is not
possible, consider bind DN-based limits.
In any case, consider lowering this value from the default of
2000 entries.
