Creating a New Database Link

Attributes

Value

 

 

nsReferralOnScopedSearch

Controls whether referrals are returned by

 

scoped searches. This attribute is for

 

optimizing the directory because returning

 

referrals in response to scoped searches is

 

more efficient. Takes the values on or off.

 

The default value is off.

 

 

nsHopLimit

Maximum number of times a request can be

 

forwarded from one database link to another.

 

The default value is 10.

 

 

Can be both a global and instance attribute. This global configuration attribute is located in the cn=config, cn=chaining database,cn=plugins,cn=config entry. The global attributes are dynamic, meaning any changes made to them automatically take effect on all instances of the database link within the directory.

3.2.2.6. Database Link Configuration Example

Suppose a server within the us.example.com domain contains the subtree l=Walla Walla,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com on a database and that operation requests for the l=Zanzibar,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com subtree should be chained to a different server in

the africa.example.com domain.
