Red Hat DIRECTORY SERVER 7.1 User Manual

Database Plug-in Attributes
160 Red Hat Directory Server Configuration, Command, and File Reference • May 2005
nsslapd-idlistscanlimit
This performance-related attribute, present by default, specifies the number of
entry IDs that are searched during a search operation. If you attempt to set a value
that is not a number or is too big for a 32-bit signed integer, you will receive an
LDAP_UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM error message, with additional error information
explaining the problem.
It is advisable to keep the default value to improve search performance. For a
more detailed explanation of the effect of ID lists on search performance, see
chapter 10, “Managing Indexes,” in the Red Hat Directory Server Administrator’s
Guide.
nsslapd-cache-autosize
This performance tuning-related attribute, which is turned off by default,
specifies the percentage of free memory to use for all the combined caches. For
example, if the value is set to 80 , then 80 percent of the remaining free memory
would be claimed for the cache. If you plan to run other servers on the machine,
then the value will be lower. Setting the value to 0 turns off the cache autosizing
and uses the normal nsslapd-cachememsize and nsslapd-dbcachesize
attributes.
