Thank you very much for following up and the contribution.
nsTimeLimit is indeed the user-level parameter to configure.
there is a mention in this guide:
https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_directory_server/13/html/management_configuration_and_operations/searching-entries-and-tuning-searches#setting-user-and-global-resource-limits-by-using-the-command-line
but this use case is different and interesting.
We could add an Upstream HowTo/doc page about it, or even document this
into one of the RHDS guides.
Happy New Year!
M.
