Performance Tuning

  • /etc/ldap/slapd.conf can be configured to include the following two optimization options, responsible for:
    Generating indices for frequent queries and updates:
    index objectclass             eq
    index uid,uidNumber,gidNumber eq,pres
    

    Cache LDAP data in memory
    # how many attribute values are cached in memory
    cachesize     10000
    
    # specifies the size, in bytes, of the space allocated to store database files in memory
    dbcachesize   1000000
    

  • Implement slave (replication) LDAP servers.
