3.4.3.5. nsslapd-require-index
When switched to on, this attribute allows one to refuse unindexed searches. This performance-
related attribute avoids saturating the server with erroneous searches.

Entry DN cn=database_name, cn=ldbm database,
cn=plugins, cn=config
Valid Values on | off
Default Value off
Syntax DirectoryString
Example nsslapd-require-index: off
3.4.3.6. nsslapd-suffix
This attribute specifies the suffix of the database link. This is a single-valued attribute because each
database instance can have only one suffix. Previously, it was possible to have more than one suffix
on a single database instance, but this is no longer the case. As a result, this attribute is single-valued
to enforce the fact that each database instance can only have one suffix entry. Any changes made to
this attribute after the entry has been created take effect only after the server containing the database
link is restarted.
