nsLookthroughLimit

This performance-related attribute specifies the maximum number of entries that
the Directory Server will check when examining candidate entries in response to a
search request. If you bind as the directory manager DN, however, unlimited is set
by default and overrides any other settings you may specify here. It is worth noting
that binder-based resource limits work for this limit, which means that if a value
for the operational attribute is present in the entry as which
nsLookThroughlimit
you bind, the default limit will be overridden. 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
error message with additional error information
LDAP_UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM
explaining the problem.
