2.2.2.3. Configuration Changes Requiring Server Restart
Some configuration attributes cannot be altered while the server is running. In these cases, for the
changes to take effect, the server needs to be shut down and restarted. The modifications should
be made either through the Directory Server Console or by manually editing the dse.ldif file.
Some of the attributes that require a server restart for any changes to take effect are listed below.
This list is not exhaustive; to see a complete list, run ldapsearch and search for the nsslapd-
requiresrestart attribute. For example:
ldapsearch -p 389 -D "cn=directory manager" -w password -s sub -b "cn=config"
"(objectclass=*)" | grep nsslapd-requiresrestart
