Build Tested: 389-ds-base-1.3.9.1-7.el7.x86_64 Steps: 1) In /etc/sysconfig/dirsrv.systemd set LimitNOFILE to some value eg:(21345) 2) Restart the server. 3) Check the Soft limit also is modified to the value which was set (21345) [root@web9 ~]# cat /proc/$(cat /var/run/dirsrv/slapd-{instance_name}.pid)/limits | grep -e Limit -e "open files" Limit Soft Limit Hard Limit Units Max open files 21345 21345 files 4) Check comments in /etc/sysconfig/dirsrv.systemd which makes it clear that there is a configuration setting in Directory Server: nsslapd-maxdescriptors that can override the soft limit. # databases. Note, the configuration setting in Directory Server, # "nsslapd-maxdescriptors", can override this limit. #LimitNOFILE=16384 Marking it as VERIFIED.
