1Host name of the LDAP directory server to be used for user authentication.
2The root of the branch in the directory server's database where user information is stored.
3 The default directory server port; this must match the port you are using for the directory server.
4 Maximum number of open connections to the directory server maintained by the ldapcd caching daemon.
5 Maximum number of threads maintained by the ldapcd caching daemon. Each thread handles one connection to a local program. Allowing a higher number of threads may enable better response from the LDAP caching daemon, but requires more memory. If you are running a service that requires a large number of connections (for example, a mail service), set the maximum number of threads to 64 or greater (if your system has sufficient memory).
