The two global configuration attributes are located in the
database,cn=plugins,cn=config
meaning any changes you make to them will automatically take effect on all
instances of the database link within your directory.
Values defined for a specific database link take precedence over the global attribute
value.

Value
Gives the OID of LDAP controls forwarded by the database link to
the remote data server.
The suffix managed by the database link. Any changes you make to
this attribute after the entry has been created take effect only after
you restart the server containing the database link.
Default search time limit for the database link, given in seconds. The
default value is 3600 seconds.
Default size limit for the database link, given in number of entries.
The default value is 2000 entries.
Gives the LDAP URL of the remote server (or farm server) that
contains the data. This attribute can contain optional servers for
failover, separated by spaces. If using cascading chaining, this URL
can point to another database link.
DN of the administrative entry used to communicate with the
remote server. The term multiplexor in the name of the attribute
means the server which contains the database link and
communicates with the remote server.
This bind DN cannot be the directory manager. If this attribute is not
specified, the database link binds as anonymous.
Password for the administrative user, given in plain text. If no
password is provided, it means that users can bind as anonymous.
The password is encrypted in the configuration file.

evaluated on the database link as well as the remote data server.

Changes to this attribute occur only after the server has been
restarted. The default value is off.
