When no limit is set, ns-slapdreturns every matching entry to the client regardless of the time it takes. To set a no limit value whereby Directory Server waits indefinitely for the search to complete, specify a value of -1for this attribute in the dse.ldif file. A value of zero (0) causes no time to be allowed for searches. The smallest time limit is 1 second.

NOTE:

A value of -1on this attribute in thedse.ldif is the same as leaving the attribute blank in the server console in that it causes no limit to be used. However, a negative integer cannot be set in this field in the server console, and a null value cannot be used in the dse.ldif entry, as it is not a valid integer.
