nsslapd-maxbersize

maximum message size

Description

Defines the maximum size in bytes allowed for an incoming message. This limits the size of LDAP requests that can be handled by Directory Server. Limiting the size of requests prevents some kinds of denial of service attacks.

The limit applies to the total size of the LDAP request. For example, if the request is to add an entry, and the entry in the request is larger than two megabytes, then the add request is denied. Care should be taken when changing this attribute.

Entry DN: cn=config
Valid Range: 0 - 2 GB (2,147,483,647 bytes), where a value of 0 indicates that the default value should be used.
Default Value: 2097152
Syntax: Integer
Example: nsslapd-maxbersize: 2097152
