3.4.3.3. nsslapd-directory
This attribute specifies the path to the database instance. If it is a relative path, it starts from the
path specified by nsslapd-directory in the global database entry cn=config, cn=ldbm
database, cn=plugins, cn=config. The database instance directory is named after the
instance name and located in the global database directory, by default. After the database instance
has been created, do not modify this path, because any changes risk preventing the server from
accessing data.
