5 Control whether client applications can monitor events on this LDAP server.
To enable client applications to monitor events on this LDAP server, check the
Enable Event
Monitoring check box.
To disable the monitoring of events, uncheck the check box.
6
Control the maximum load that event monitoring applications can place on the server.
Enter a value in the
Maximum Event Monitoring Load field.
Processing event data and sending event notifications to monitoring applications involves
computational overhead on the LDAP server. For a given event, the exact load on the server
depends on the frequency of the event being monitored, the data associated with the event, and
the number of client applications monitoring the event.
The Maximum Event Monitoring Load is a relative value that reflects how much of a load the
event monitoring extension is allowed to place on the server. A zero value indicates no limit. To
find an appropriate value for this attribute, experiment.
7 Click Apply , then click OK .
14.10 Getting Information about the LDAP Server
To get information about an LDAP server, you use ICE or an LDAP search. These utilities request
information from rootDSE (Directory Service Agent, specific entry).
RootDSE is a pseudo object in a directory tree. It is an unnamed entry at the root of the tree.
RootDSE holds information that is specific to the server that you are connected to. For example,
rootDSE knows where the schema is located and the extensions and controls that the schema
supports.
Because rootDSE is not a named entry in the tree, an LDAP server does not return rootDSE to the
client as part of any normal search operation.
The following table lists information from rootDSE.
