Is there some way to speed up LDAP? I am guessing this has to do with it searching the database on ldap? This is a new server and my old one did not take that long. It is not as slow if just one or two people are logging in with ldap, but when many login, it seems to bring ldap to a bottle neck, I guess while searching the directory for all the names. There are probably about 1000 users in my LDAP. Is that too large? I assume it isn't since most of the other schools around have AD which is basically Microsoft LDAP if I understand correctly and they have no problems and have many more users than I have. Can multiple schema's in the config file cause this? I know that on my old server I had the following in slapd.conf: core cosine inetorgperson nis samba On my new one it has the above plus: corba duaconf dyngroup java misc openldap ppolicy collective Those were just in there when I installed it so I left them. Should I take them out or would that not have any affect on logins at all? I am guessing that they wont' affect anything and it is more related to some sort of configuration in my ldap configs. Is there something else I need in a config? Here are my configs. slapd.conf include /etc/openldap/schema/corba.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/duaconf.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/dyngroup.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/java.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/misc.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/openldap.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/ppolicy.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/collective.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/samba.schema loglevel -1 sizelimit -1 allow bind_v2 pidfile /var/run/openldap/slapd.pid argsfile /var/run/openldap/slapd.args database bdb suffix "dc=school,dc=bloomfield.k12.mo.us" checkpoint 1024 15 rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=school,dc=bloomfield.k12.mo.us" rootpw ***** directory /var/lib/ldap index objectClass eq index cn,sn,uid,displayName eq,pres,sub index uidNumber,gidNumber eq index memberUid eq index sambaSID,sambaPrimaryGroupSID eq index sambaDomainName eq index default sub database monitor ldap.conf SIZELIMIT 200 HOST 127.0.0.1 10.0.0.5 BASE dc=school,dc=bloomfield.k12.mo.us I have a DB_CONFIG file that contains the following, but not sure if it needs anything else or not: set_cachesize 0 268435456 1 set_lg_regionmax 262144 set_lg_bsize 2097152 Thanks for any info. -- Scott Mayo - System Administrator Bloomfield Schools PH: 573-568-5669 FA: 573-568-4565 Question: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
