Red Hat DIRECTORY SERVER 7.1 User Manual

Core Server Configuration Attributes Reference
68 Red Hat Directory Server Configuration, Command, and File Reference • May 2005
nsslapd-localuser (Local User)
Specifies the user as whom the Directory Server runs. The group as which the
user runs is derived from this attribute by examining the groups of which the user
is a member. Should the user change, then all the files in the installation directory
will need to be owned by this user.
nsslapd-maxbersize (Maximum Message Size)
Defines the maximum size in bytes allowed for an incoming message. This limits
the size of LDAP requests that can be handled by the Directory Server. Limiting
the size of requests prevents some kinds of denial of service attacks.
The limit applies to the total size of the LDAP request. For example, if the request
is to add an entry and if the entry in the request is larger than two megabytes,
then the add request is denied. Care should be taken when changing this
attribute, and we recommend contacting Red Hat Professional Services before
doing so.
