Emmanuel Lécharny commented on DIRAPI-362:
------------------------------------------
No, you don't need to create multiple connction for each user. One connection
per user is clearly enough, and you can even manage to use a connection pool,
shared by all the users (we do have such a thing in the API
(http://directory.apache.org/api/gen-docs/latest2/apidocs/org/apache/directory/ldap/client/api/LdapConnectionPool.html),
assuming you manage the user context on your side.
Actually, you can also keep one connection per user, but that would be a waste
of resource (inodes and memory). Better use a pool of bound connection, re-bind
them when needed, send the requests you need, then unbind and put back the
connection to the pool. To be clear : what is costly, time wise, is the TCP
connection establishment. Binding, requesting, unbinding is not really
bothersome.
If you don't mind dealing with authorization on the LDAP server, then you can
even use an admin LDAP connection, to avoid the Bind/Unbind requests.
Regarding the other aspect of your question (the token bit), it's pretty
orthogonal to LDAP, and even more to the API. You can ask the server to use
whatever you need to login and authenticate a client, assuming the server is
capable of doing so. Typically, you may delegate authentication in a LDAP
server to a Microsoft AD directory. But the server has to support such a
feature. The LDAP API offers the EXTERNAL SASL bind system to do that.
