2.3.1.106. nsslapd-timelimit (Time Limit)

This attribute sets the maximum number of seconds allocated for a search request. If this limit is
reached, Directory Server returns any entries it has located that match the search request, as well as an
exceeded time limit error.

When no limit is set, ns-slapd returns every matching entry to the client regardless of the time it takes.
To set a no limit value whereby Directory Server waits indefinitely for the search to complete, specify a
value of -1 for this attribute in the dse.ldif file. A value of zero (0) causes no time to be allowed for
searches. The smallest time limit is 1 second.

NOTE

A value of -1 on this attribute in thedse.ldif is the same as leaving the attribute blank in the
server console in that it causes no limit to be used. However, a negative integer cannot be set in
this field in the server console, and a null value cannot be used in the dse.ldif entry, as it is
not a valid integer.

Parameter

Description

Entry DN

cn=config

Valid Range

-1 to the maximum 32 bit integer value
(2147483647) in seconds

Default Value

3600

Syntax

Integer

Example

nsslapd-timelimit: 3600

2.3.1.107. nsslapd-tmpdir

This is the absolute path of the directory the server uses for temporary files. The directory must be
owned by the server user ID and the user must have read and write access. No other user ID should
have read or write access to the directory. The default value is /tmp.

Changes made to this attribute will not take effect until the server is restarted.

2.3.1.108. nsslapd-versionstring

This attribute sets the server version number. The build data is automatically appended when the
version string is displayed.

Parameter

Description

Entry DN

cn=config

Valid Values

Any valid server version number.

Default Value
Syntax

DirectoryString

Example

nsslapd-versionstring: Red Hat-Directory/8.1

2.3.1.109. nsslapd-workingdir

This is the absolute path of the directory that the server uses as its current working directory after
startup. This is the value that the server would return as the value of the getcwd() function, and the
value that the system process table shows as its current working directory. This is the directory a core
file is generated in. The server user ID must have read and write access to the directory, and no other
user ID should have read or write access to it. The default value for this attribute is the same directory
containing the error log, which is usually /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-instance_name.

Changes made to this attribute will not take effect until the server is restarted.

2.3.1.110. nsSSLclientauth (Client Authentication)

This attribute sets whether client authentication (also called certificate-based authentication) is allowed
to the Directory Server. If this attribute is set to required, then the Console cannot be set to require
SSL because certificate-based authentication is not supported in the Console.

Parameter

Description

Entry DN

cn=config

Valid Values

off | allowed | required

Default Value
