7.11. Adjusting the input/output block timeout in the IdM Directory Server

Procedure

1. Retrieve the current value of the nsslapd-ioblocktimeout parameter and make a note of it before making any adjustments, in case it needs to be restored. Enter the Directory Manager password when prompted.

   [root@server ~]# dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://<server_fqdn> config get nsslapd-ioblocktimeout
   Enter password for cn=Directory Manager on ldap://server.example.com:
   nsslapd-ioblocktimeout: 10000

2. Modify the value of the nsslapd-ioblocktimeout attribute. This example lowers the value to 8000.

   [root@server ~]# dsconf -D "cn=Directory Manager" ldap://<server_fqdn> config replace nsslapd-ioblocktimeout=8000

3. Authenticate as the Directory Manager to make the configuration change.

   Enter password for cn=Directory Manager on _ldap://server.example.com_:
   Successfully replaced "nsslapd-ioblocktimeout"

4. Monitor the IdM directory server’s performance. If it does not improve, repeat this procedure and adjust nsslapd-ioblocktimeout to a different value, or back to the default of 10000.
