3.6.2. nsslapd-changelogmaxage (Max Changelog Age)
This attribute specifies the maximum age of any entry in the changelog. The changelog contains a
record for each directory modification and is used when synchronizing consumer servers. Each record
contains a timestamp. Any record with a timestamp that is older than the value specified in this attribute
is removed. If this attribute is absent, there is no age limit on changelog records, which is the default
behavior since this attribute is not present by default.
NOTE
Expired changelog records will not be removed if there is an agreement that has fallen behind
further than the maximum age.

3.7. Distributed Numeric Assignment Plug-in Attributes
The Distributed Numeric Assignment Plug-in manages ranges of numbers and assigns unique numbers
within that range to entries. By breaking number assignments into ranges, the Distributed Numeric
Assignment Plug-in allows multiple servers to assign numbers without conflict. The plug-in also
manages the ranges assigned to servers, so that if one instance runs through its range quickly, it can
request additional ranges from the other servers.
Distributed numeric assignment is handled per-attribute and is only applied to specific suffixes and
specific entries within the subtree.
3.7.1. dnaFilter
This attribute sets an LDAP filter to use to search for and identify the entries to which to apply the
distributed numeric assignment range.
The dnaFilter attribute is required to set up distributed numeric assignment for an attribute.
Parameter
Description
Entry DN
cn=Distributed Numeric Assignment Plugin,
cn=plugins, cn=config
