nsslapd-maxpsearch

maximum number of persistent searches

Description

Defines the maximum number of persistent searches that can be performed on Directory Server. The persistent search mechanism provides an active channel through which entries that change, and information about the changes that occur, can be communicated. Because each persistent search operation uses one thread, limiting the number of simultaneous persistent searches prevents certain kinds of denial of service attacks.

Entry DN: cn=config
