Ability to set maximum size & time limits using Netscape Console.
Try This: Change the size limit from 2000 to 1000 entries. Change the time limit to 2400 seconds.
Factoid: Some LDAP clients can cause the server to actually use smaller values for Size Limit and Time Limit.
See Chapter 10 of the Admin Guide.
| # Tuning Your Server Now that you've got Netscape Console running and have found the Administrative window for your Directory Server, there are several parameters you can change which can improve your server's performance. Click on the Configuration tab to display the window shown here: ### Changing Performance Parameters The Directory Server's administrative window provided by Netscape Console lets you set some key configuration parameter values. If you click on the Performance tab in the Configuration window you'll have the opportunity to set 3 of them: Size limit in entries. This parameter specifies the maximum number of entries the server will return to the client in response to a search operation. If this limit is reached, the server returns any entries it has located that match the search request, as well as an exceeded size limit error. The default value for this parameter is 2,000. Decreasing this value could reduce your average search time but will also limit the number of results returned on very large searches. Time limit in seconds. This parameter specifies the maximum amount of real time the server spends performing a request. If this limit is reached during a search, the server returns any entries it has located that match the search request, as well as an exceeded time limit error. The default value for this parameter is 3,600. Decreasing this value will produce similar results to decreasing Size Limit. Idle Timeout. This parameter specifies the amount of time in seconds afterwhich an idle LDAP client connection is closed by the server. A value of 0 indicates that the server will never close idle connections.
