To Set the Limit Attributes to Appropriate Values

The DN for these attributes is:

dn: cn=config,cn=ldbm databases,cn=plug ins,cn=config

1. Use ldapmodify to dynamically set the value of nsLookthroughLimit.

   You do not have to stop and restart Directory Server to change this attribute.

   The default value is 5000. You might want to increase this value if searches are not reporting results. However, this could slow down the LDAP server.

   It is possible to set the limit to -1, which causes no limit to be used. However, do this with caution as it could conceivably cause the system to hang.

2. If you want to set nsslapd-sizelimit to a higher value, you must perform the following steps:

   1. Stop the Directory Server.

   2. Edit the dse.ldif file.

   3. Restart the Directory Server.
