Hi,
I'm extremely interested in better LDAP support in archiva. My major concern is
the characteristics of
archiva's repository security, specifically with the LDAP connection count when
downloading a large
number of artifacts. Due to the connection leaks described in
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/REDBACK-185
it overwhelms my OpenLDAP server with 100s of active connections during a large
build. Worse,
the connections are persistent, eventually monopolizing the service.
I've submitted a patch that I believe fixes the leaks. By patching my 1.2-M1
server I've been able to
run those large builds with no problems. Using Sun's LDAP connection pooling,
those large builds
only ever allocate 1 connection per user concurrent user. I have ported the
patch to redback 1.2.2.
Olivier fixed some of the leaks I found in M1, but there were some remaining in
the ldap user
management code. Is there any chance that this could make it into a 1.2 bugfix
release?
