+Any changes made to this attribute will be written to the {{EX:DB_CONFIG}}
+file and will cause the database environment to be reset so the changes
+can take immediate effect. If the environment cache is large and has not

+{{db_checkpoint}} utility before using LDAP Modify to change this
+attribute.
