NAME¶
slapo-sssvlv - Server Side Sorting and Virtual List View overlay to slapd
SYNOPSIS¶
/etc/ldap/slapd.conf
DESCRIPTION¶
This overlay implements the LDAP Server Side Sorting (RFC2891) control as well
as the Virtual List View control. It also replaces the default implementation
of the LDAP PagedResults (RFC2696) control, to ensure that it works with
Sorting. The overlay can be used with any backend or globally for all
backends.
Since a complete result set must be generated in memory before sorting can be
performed, processing sort requests can have a large impact on the server's
memory use. As such, any connection is limited to having only a limited number
of sort requests active at a time. Additional limits may be configured as
described below.
CONFIGURATION¶
These
slapd.conf options apply to the SSSVLV overlay. They should appear
after the
overlay directive.
- sssvlv-max <num>
- Set the maximum number of concurrent sort requests allowed across all
connections. The default is one half of the number of server threads.
- sssvlv-maxkeys <num>
- Set the maximum number of keys allowed in a sort request. The default is
5.
- sssvlv-maxperconn <num>
- Set the maximum number of concurrent paged search requests per connection.
The default is 5. The number of concurrent requests remains limited by
sssvlv-max.
