conn_max_pending error?

[glavoy@apple.com (Gary LaVoy)]

I get this error when I try to add the conn_max_pending option to my slapd.conf file.

I added it near the top with all my other global ones like this:

conn_max_pending 300

and I get this in the log:

Aug 12 23:09:46 etsx1 slapd[4072]: .../slapd.conf: line 45: unknown directive
"conn_max_pending" outside backend info and database definitions (ignored) 

what am I not doing right?

thanks,!
