Thanks for your response. It’s Connection Timeout.
Some additional info - i just went ahead and for sake of trying updated the olcthread
value to 1750 and post that was able to get 1650 concurrent connections
working concurrently consistently, but anything beyond that again randomly threw
connection timeout errors.
Since you're using back-meta, the limit is most likely on the target LDAP server.
One more thing you can try is to increase olcListenerThreads (no more than the number of
CPUs). But since raising olcThreads
affects your result, clearly the remote server is keeping slapd's threads tied up
waiting for responses.
You can also use back-asyncmeta in OpenLDAP 2.5 for better behavior without needing
thousands of slapd threads,
but the end result will be the same - it can only answer as fast as the remote server and
no faster.
