13.3. Limiting Maximum Request Size

The default maximum request size of 5 MB, set using the advanced connection handler property max-request-size, is sufficient to satisfy most client requests. Yet, there are some cases where you might need to raise the request size limit. For example, if clients add groups with large numbers of members, those add requests can go beyond the 5 MB limit.

$ dsconfig
 set-connection-handler-prop
 --port 4444
 --hostname opendj.example.com
 --bindDN "cn=Directory Manager"
 --bindPassword password
 --handler-name "LDAP Connection Handler"
 --set max-request-size:20mb
 --trustAll
 --no-prompt

The example shown sets the maximum request size on the LDAP connection handler to 20 MB.
