Default Value

3.4 .3.6. nsslapd-suffix
This attribute specifies the suffix of the database link. This is a single-valued attribute because each
database instance can have only one suffix. Previously, it was possible to have more than one suffix on
a single database instance, but this is no longer the case. As a result, this attribute is single-valued to
enforce the fact that each database instance can only have one suffix entry. Any changes made to this
attribute after the entry has been created take effect only after the server containing the database link is
restarted.
Parameter

Entry DN
cn=database_name, cn=ldbm database,
cn=plugins, cn=config
Valid Values
Any valid DN
Default Value
Syntax
DirectoryString
Example
nsslapd-suffix: o=NetscapeRoot
