Example
3.4.1.21. nsslapd-directory
This attribute specifies absolute path to database instance. If the database instance is manually
created then this attribute must be included, something which is set by default (and modifiable) in
the Directory Server Console. Once the database instance is created, do not modify this path as any
changes risk preventing the server from accessing data.
Parameter
Entry DN
Valid Values
Default Value
Syntax
Example
3.4.1.22. nsslapd-import-cachesize
This performance tuning-related attribute determines the size of the database cache used in the
bulk import process. Setting this attribute value so that the maximum available system physical
memory is used for the database cache during bulk importing optimizes bulk import speed.
Attempting to set a value that is not a number or is too big for a 32-bit signed integer returns an
LDAP_UNWILLING_TO_PERFORM error message, with additional error information explaining the
problem.
NOTE
A cache is created for each load that occurs. For example, if the user sets the nsslapd-
import-cachesize attribute to 1 gigabyte, then 1 gigabyte is used when loading one
database, 2 gigabytes is used when loading two databases, and so on. Ensure there is
sufficient physical memory to prevent swapping from occurring, as this would result in
performance degradation.
