Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config
Valid Values Any Directory Server attribute
Default Value uidNumber
Syntax DirectoryString
Example nsslapd-ldapiuidnumbertype: uidNumber
2.3.1.72. nsslapd-listenhost (Listen to IP Address)
This attribute allows multiple Directory Server instances to run on a multihomed machine (or makes
it possible to limit listening to one interface of a multihomed machine). There can be multiple IP
addresses associated with a single hostname, and these IP addresses can be a mix of both IPv4 and
IPv6. This parameter can be used to restrict the Directory Server instance to a single IP interface.
If a hostname is given as the
nsslapd-listenhost
value, then the Directory Server responds to
requests for every interface associated with the hostname. If a single IP interface (either IPv4 or IPv6)
is given as the
nsslapd-listenhost
value, Directory Server only responds to requests sent to that
specific interface. Either an IPv4 or IPv6 address can be used.
The server has to be restarted for changes to this attribute to go into effect.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config
Valid Values Any local hostname, IPv4 or IPv6 address
Default Value
Syntax
DirectoryString
Example nsslapd-listenhost: ldap.example.com
NOTE
On HP-UX the hostname value can be a relocatable IP address.
2.3.1.73. nsslapd-localhost (Local Host)
This attribute specifies the host machine on which the Directory Server runs. This attribute is used to
create the referral URL that forms part of the MMR protocol. In a high-availability configuration with
failover nodes, that referral should point to the virtual name of the cluster, not the local hostname.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config
Valid Values Any fully qualified hostname.
Default Value Hostname of installed machine.
Syntax DirectoryString
Example nsslapd-localhost: phonebook.example.com
