Hi Group,
We have a coorporate openldap database in production which has more
than 4 million entries. The slapd process serves three different
physical dabases of sizes 4 GB , 12 GB and 24 GB respecievely.
Earlier it was runnning in ldab backend and was crashing once in 3 -4
days. We upgraded to OpenLDAP 2.3.27 and BDB backend 4.4.20. Mac OS
Tiger with 4GB RAM in the master and 8 GB ram in the slave. Now it
crashes often may be couple of times in a day or sometimes once in 2
days. There is nothing much written in the log files but at times it
shows out of memory exception. However , the search performance is
still good.
- What is the maximum size of the database that OpenLDAP can support ?
- What is the maxmum number of dns it can hold ?
- Is there any solution for the above problem ?
For a machine with 4GB of RAM I think it will max out at around 1-2 million
DNs. Unfortunately there is no way to control the size of the DN cache in
OpenLDAP 2.3, it simply grows without bound. A config keyword for the DN cache
will be in OpenLDAP 2.4.
