2.1.2.2. Configuration of Plug-in Functionality
The configuration for each part of Directory Server plug-in functionality has its own separate entry
and set of attributes under the subtree cn=plugins,cn=config. The following code sample is an
example of the configuration entry for an example plug-in, the Telephone Syntax plug-in.
dn: cn=Telephone Syntax,cn=plugins,cn=config
objectclass: top
objectclass: nsSlapdPlugin
objectclass: extensibleObject
cn: Telephone Syntax
nsslapd-pluginType: syntax
nsslapd-pluginEnabled: on
Some of these attributes are common to all plug-ins, and some may be particular to a specific plug-in.
Check which attributes are currently being used by a given plug-in by performing an ldapsearch on
the cn=config subtree.
For a list of plug-ins supported by Directory Server, general plug-in configuration information, the plug-
in configuration attribute reference, and a list of plug-ins requiring restart for configuration changes,

2.1.2.3. Configuration of Databases

The cn=NetscapeRoot and cn=UserRoot subtrees under the database plug-in entry contain
configuration data for the databases containing the o=NetscapeRoot suffix and the default suffix
created during setup, such as dc=example,dc=com.
These entries and their children have many attributes used to configure different database settings,
like the cache sizes, the paths to the index files and transaction logs, entries and attributes for
monitoring and statistics; and database indexes.

2.1.2.4. Configuration of Indexes

Configuration information for indexing is stored as entries in the Directory Server under the following
information-tree nodes:
• cn=index,cn=NetscapeRoot,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
• cn=index,cn=UserRoot,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
• cn=default indexes,cn=config,cn=ldbm database,cn=plugins,cn=config
For more information about indexes in general, see the Directory Server Administrator's Guide. For
Section 3.4.1, "Database Attributes under
information about the index configuration attributes, see
cn=config, cn=ldbm database, cn=plugins, cn=config".
