port number. Specifying a port number of less than
1024
requires that Directory Server be started as
root
. The server sets its
uid
to the
nsslapd-localuser
value after startup.
The server only listens to this port if it has been configured with a private key and a certificate, and
nsslapd-security
is set to
on
; otherwise, it does not listen on this port.
The server has to be restarted for the port number change to be taken into account.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config
Valid Range 1 to 65535
Default Value 636
Syntax Integer
Example nsslapd-securePort: 636
2.3.1.102. nsslapd-security (Security)
This attribute sets whether the Directory Server is to accept SSL/TLS communications on its encrypted
port. This attribute should be set to
on
for secure connections. To run with security on, the server must
be configured with a private key and server certificate in addition to the other SSL/TLS configuration.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config
Valid Values on | off
Default Value off
Syntax DirectoryString
Example nsslapd-security: off
2.3.1.103. nsslapd-sizelimit (Size Limit)
This attribute sets the maximum number of entries to return from a search operation. If this limit is
reached,
ns-slapd
returns any entries it has located that match the search request, as well as an
exceeded size limit error.
When no limit is set,
ns-slapd
returns every matching entry to the client regardless of the number
found. To set a no limit value whereby the Directory Server waits indefinitely for the search to
complete, specify a value of
-1
for this attribute in the
dse.ldif
file.
This limit applies to everyone, regardless of their organization.
NOTE
A value of
-1
on this attribute in
dse.ldif
file is the same as leaving the attribute blank
in the server console, in that it causes no limit to be used. This cannot have a null value
in
dse.ldif
file, as it is not a valid integer. It is possible to set it to
0
, which returns
size
limit exceeded
for every search.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config
