Hi,
I would like to increase max open files for ldap from 1024 to 4096 or more
How do I do that with openSuse ?
Previously I did that with Mandriva, edit /etc/sysconfig/ldap and uncomment MAXFILES=4096, but this is not working with openSuse.
Any idea how to increase MAXFILES for openldap in openSuse ?
Thanks.
Hi
What does the output from;
ulimit -n
cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
cat /proc/`pidof slapd`/limits
I think if ulimit isn’t set to 4096, that’s possibly why.
spare:~ # ulimit -n
1024
spare:~ # cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
47358
spare:~ # cat /proc/`pidof slapd`/limits
Limit Soft Limit Hard Limit Units
Max cpu time unlimited unlimited seconds
Max file size unlimited unlimited bytes
Max data size unlimited unlimited bytes
Max stack size 8388608 unlimited bytes
Max core file size 0 unlimited bytes
Max resident set unlimited unlimited bytes
Max processes 3726 3726 processes
Max open files 1024 4096 files
Max locked memory 65536 65536 bytes
Max address space unlimited unlimited bytes
Max file locks unlimited unlimited locks
Max pending signals 3726 3726 signals
Max msgqueue size 819200 819200 bytes
Max nice priority 0 0
Max realtime priority 0 0
Max realtime timeout unlimited unlimited us
which file should i edit to increase it ?
thanks.

Hi
The way I understand it is it’s a soft limit, so should be able to
change via;
ulimit -n 4096
ulimit -a
You may have to configure it specifically with pam and limits.conf
for ldap (see man limits.conf)? I’m not an ldap user (except for
defaults), maybe other can help…

i edit /etc/security/limits.conf, add in
ldap soft nofile 4096
and I run “cat /proc/pidof slapd/limits” as root
spare:~ # cat /proc/`pidof slapd`/limits

but when i run ulimt -a as ldap user, i get

the openfiles are different.
If you want the service to have more file handles, you need to edit the systemd file; /usr/lib/systemd/system/slapd.service
Add;
LimitNOFILE=32768
Under [Service], then issue systemctl daemon-reload and systemctl restart slapd. Ran into the same issue when tuning Varnish for tens of thousands of simultaneous connections 
Miuku,
no slapd.service in /usr/lib/systemd/system
im running opensuse 13.1
thanks.
