Red Hat DIRECTORY SERVER 8.0 Command Reference Manual page 62

Chapter 2. Core Server Configuration Reference
2.3.1.94. nsslapd-threadnumber (Thread Number)
Defines the number of operation threads that the Directory Server creates at startup. The nsslapd-
threadnumber value should be increased if there are many directory clients performing time-
consuming operations such as add or modify, as this ensures that there are other threads available for
servicing short-lived operations such as simple searches. This value may also need increased if there
are many replication agreements or chained backends (database links). This attribute is not available
from the server console.

Example
2.3.1.95. nsslapd-timelimit (Time Limit)
This attribute sets the maximum number of seconds allocated for a search request. If this limit is
reached, Directory Server returns any entries it has located that match the search request, as well as
an exceeded time limit error.
When no limit is set, ns-slapd returns every matching entry to the client regardless of the time it
takes. To set a no limit value whereby Directory Server waits indefinitely for the search to complete,
specify a value of -1 for this attribute in the dse.ldif file. A value of zero (0) causes no time to be
allowed for searches. The smallest time limit is 1 second.
NOTE
A value of -1 on this attribute in thedse.ldif is the same as leaving the attribute blank
in the server console in that it causes no limit to be used. However, a negative integer
cannot be set in this field in the server console, and a null value cannot be used in the
dse.ldif entry, as it is not a valid integer.

This is the absolute path of the directory the server uses for temporary files. The directory must be
owned by the server user ID and the user must have read and write access. No other user ID should
have read or write acces to the directory. The default value is /tmp.
