2.3.1.63. nsslapd-localhost (Local Host)
This attribute specifies the host machine on which the Directory Server runs. This attribute is used to
create the referral URL that forms part of the MMR protocol. In a high-availability configuration with
failover nodes, that referral should point to the virtual name of the cluster, not the local hostname.

2.3.1.64. nsslapd-localuser (Local User)
This attribute sets the user as whom the Directory Server runs. The group as which the user runs is
derived from this attribute by examining the user's primary group. Should the user change, then all of
the instance-specific files and directories for this instance need to be changed to be owned by the new
user, using a tool such as chown.
The value for the nsslapd-localuser is set initially when the server instance is configured.
