nsslapd-allidsthreshold

Maximum number of values per index key in an index list

Description

This attribute defines a threshold to limit the length of an index list. The threshold is called the index list threshold. If the number of entries in the list for a particular key exceeds the index list threshold, an unindexed search is performed.

The value of the nsslapd-allidsthreshold attribute can be configured globally for a Directory Server instance, or can be configured for a suffix, or can be configured for an index type. If the value of the nsslapd-allidsthreshold attribute is configured globally for a suffix, it can then be changed for a specific index.

You must rebuild all indexes after you change the nsslapd-allidsthreshold attribute.
