2.3.1.58. nsslapd-errorlog-mode (Error Log File Permission)
This attribute sets the access mode or file permissions with which error log files are to be created.
The valid values are any combination of 000 to 777 since they mirror numbered or absolute UNIX file
permissions. That is, the value must be a combination of a 3-digit number, the digits varying from 0
through 7:
• 0 - None
• 1 - Execute only
• 2 - Write only
• 3 - Write and execute
• 4 - Read only
• 5 - Read and execute
• 6 - Read and write
• 7 - Read, write, and execute
In the 3-digit number, the first digit represents the owner's permissions, the second digit represents the
group's permissions, and the third digit represents everyone's permissions. When changing the default
value, remember that 000 does not allow access to the logs and that allowing write permissions to
everyone can result in the logs being overwritten or deleted by anyone.
The newly configured access mode only affects new logs that are created; the mode is set when the
log rotates to a new file.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config
Valid Range 000 through 777
Default Value 600

Example nsslapd-errorlog-mode: 600
2.3.1.59. nsslapd-groupevalnestlevel
This attribute is deprecated, and documented here only for historical purposes.
The Access Control Plug-in does not use the value specified by the nsslapd-
groupevalnestlevel attribute to set the number of levels of nesting that access control performs
for group evaluation. Instead, the number of levels of nesting is hard-coded as 5.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config
Valid Range 0 to 5
Default Value 5
Syntax Integer
