Right, makes sense, and discarding the credentials is certainly important. Since my email on Friday, we've managed to fix the problem, which was a bug in our hardware load balancer. Our CAS server probably isn't busy enough to /need/ this hypothetical pooler (when everything is working!), but I'm sure I would use it if it existed just to reduce network load. Alternatively, the ticket Phillipe mentioned in another mail (CAS-987) would allow pooling of the connection doing the searches, which would halve the number of connections - this would also be helpful. > Just curious, what directory server are you running? SunONE LDAP, although we are sure the problem was with the hardware load balancer in front of it (some kind of CISCO thing, don't know the details sorry).
