Before posting here I had already tried that..... :) But the settings were not working...Before making the changes in the file I even stopped the service, made the changes and then restarted the service...still setting was not working....

Yesterday I found a path to set the same setting through GUI...Made the required setting and restarted the service and it worked like a breeze...PFA screenshot....

So it could be a bug that settings if made through file 'dse.ldif' don't work as expected...and you are left with only option to use GUI

Cheers,
Parag
