Apply Operational Limits to a Role

You can set different operational limits for each role. Because role-based limits are set using attributes, you do not need to restart the DSA for the change to take effect.

To apply operational limits to a role

1. Set up a static or dynamic role in the directory.
2. Add the object class dxRoleBasedConfig to the role entry.
3. Set one or both of the following limits:
   • Add the attribute dxSizeLimit to the role entry and change the value to the maximum number of entries that can be returned by a search.
   • Add the attribute dxTimeLimit to the role entry and change the value to the time (in seconds) before the operation is canceled.
4. Save the changes to the role entry.

   The new operational limits apply to users with that role when they next connect to the directory.
