Hello,
I’m running OpenLDAP 2.4.40 on two multi-master servers with replication
enabled. Today we switched over to this instance, imported all users from the
old ldap server, and configured an ldap client to use this instance.
Everything is working well, users are authenticating and able to access their
assigned groups.
However, we noticed that while on the ldap client and as a regular user we type
“w” to see who is logged on this machine, it takes a while before we get a
response with the results. If we type “w” again the response is very fast due
to caching.
In looking at ways to improve performance of ldap, is slapindex a tool to use?
Meaning after importing users accounts from an older ldap, should slapindex be
ran? Or is this tool is used when you want to modify/add entries found in the
slapd (cn=config.ldif) and database ((olcDatabase={2}hdb.ldif) configuration
files not when users are added to the ldap database.
If slapindex is not a tool to use to monitor performance, what do you recommend?
Thank you,
Liz
