The number that you specify here should not be greater than the total number of

Netscape Directory Server Installation Guide) can be used to suggest changes to
the system kernel or TCP/IP tuning attributes, including increasing the number
of file descriptors if necessary. You should consider increasing the value on this
attribute if the Directory Server is refusing connections because it is out of file
descriptors. When this occurs, the following message is written to the Directory
Server's error log file:
Not listening for new connections -- too many fds open
NOTE
UNIX shells usually have configurable limits on the number of file
descriptors. See your operating-system documentation for further
information regarding limit and ulimit as these limits can often
cause problems.

nsslapd-maxthreadsperconn (Maximum Threads Per Connection)
Defines the maximum number of threads that a connection should use. For normal
operations where a client binds and only performs one or two operations before
unbinding, you should use the default value. For situations where a client binds

each connection enough resources to perform all the operations. This attribute is
not available from the server console.
