Hi,
we have two openLDAP Servers configured with back_ldap. Each server has one non-OpenLDAP-Server as “target”.
I passed a redacted copy of my configuration below.
At any given time we have around 100 connections from clients to the openLDAP Server. I noticed that there are a lot more connections open from the ldap Server to the “target” Servers. Sometimes close to 1000. As this is a temporary setup I did not investigate any more. In the last days we sometimes see the following errors in log:
“daemon: accept(10) failed errno=24 (Too many open files)”
“connection_input: conn=1799 deferring operation: too many executing”
“connection_read(446): no connection!”
I suspect that this is because there are more than 1024 connections open and the OS is preventing opening more FDs.
I am not sure why we have so many open connections to the “target” servers.
Maybe someone can spot my config error.
Thanks in advance.
