#4048 [RFE] Add mechanism to allow custom LDAP settings during initial master or replica install
Closed: Fixed None Opened 10 years ago by rcritten.

Similar to ticket #3314, user had huge value in directory. Setting up replication was failing.

User had to directly modify the 389-ds dse.ldif templates to increase the values.

If possible would be good to have some mechanism to pass custom values prior to starting replication or doing any real work.

In this case we had to increase nssslapd-maxbersize, nsslapd-cachememsize, nsslapd-import_cachesize and nsslapd-dbcachesize.


Make the value big during install and then set it back at the end of the install.

Moving to Backlog, not a release blocker.

Moving to next release - no time for the RFE in 4.0.

No time left for this ticket in 4.1 -> moving out.

The FreeIPA 4.2 was already shaped (see [[milestone:FreeIPA 4.2]] milestone), this does not fit. Pushing out.

If anyone is willing to help and contribute to this one, please let us know!

My patch for #4949 is almost done and resolves this ticket as well.

I'm taking ownership of this ticket.
