2.3.1.76. nsslapd-maxbersize (Maximum Message Size)
Defines the maximum size in bytes allowed for an incoming message. This limits the size of LDAP
requests that can be handled by the Directory Server. Limiting the size of requests prevents some
kinds of denial of service attacks.
The limit applies to the total size of the LDAP request. For example, if the request is to add an entry
and if the entry in the request is larger than two megabytes, then the add request is denied. Be
cautious before changing this attribute.
The server should be restarted for changes in this attribute to take effect.
Parameter Description
Entry DN cn=config
Valid Range 0 - 2 gigabytes (2,147,483,647 bytes)
Zero 0 means that the default value should be
used.
Default Value 2097152
