Adam,

I want to thank for your responses as I am coming up to speed. If I don't get 
yanked off to fill some other project holes, Keystone knowledge and support 
will become my full time job here at HP.

I have been thinking about the keystone user lookup GET API for a split 
LDAP/SQL backend when you are using a read only LDAP backend:

                http://15.253.58.165:35357/v3/auth/tokens

A suggestion has been made to add additional lookup constraints via a filter. 
The problem with read only LDAP databases is that you are not able to tag the 
keystone users with any flags to indicate that they are keystone users. The 
current Keystone H-2  LDAP backend code performs the _ldap_get_all function 
(which took 1 ½ hours today) and must then look to see which of those users are 
in the keystone database because the REST API call only returned the one user 
that I had assigned a project role to. I am thinking that this logic is 
backwards. Instead of starting with the LDAP server, start by querying the 
keystone SQL database for LDAP users and then query the LDAP system for those 
users a certain number at a time (good use of pagination). By the way, I am 
assuming that keystone finds the LDAP users by looking in the 
user_project_metadata, user_group_membership_ anduser_domain_metadata tables 
for user IDs that are not in the user table.

We should probably just drop the list_user functionality from Keystone, as it 
probably doens't belong there.  listing users in a project it probably fine, 
but all users in the system only makes sense for really trivial systems.

Most LDAP servers limit the number of records returned.  I know in FreeIPA, we 
had 200 records, and then you needed a filter to find what you wanted beyond 
that.  Pagination is a bettersolution, although I shudder to think of the 
impact of all those live cursors on a heavily loaded Enterprise directory.

That's been a "don't do that" for quite a while, but we might finally have a 
solution in havana:

Hello,

I ran into an issue/problem with keystone and it is ok to simply tell me to 
"don't do that", but I am wondering how others approach this problem.

I have the keystone H-2 split backend code connected the HP Enterprise 
Directory which is humongous in size. From that directory I have only one user 
configured with a project role in keystone. When I performed the following REST 
API call:
GET:   http://15.253.58.141:35357/v3/users

The keystone server took almost an hour and a half to process my request before 
responding with the correct information:

2013-07-28 08:54:24    DEBUG [keystone.common.ldap.core] LDAP bind:

REST API response:

{
    "user": {
        "name": "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>",
        "links": {
            "self": "http://localhost:5000/v3/users/[email protected]";
        },
        "enabled": "Active",
        "domain_id": "default",
        "email": "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>",
        "id": "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>"
    }
}

After completing my request I found that Keystone was locked up and required a 
stop/start service command to get it responding again. How do other people with 
ldap backends handle this problem?

Thanks,

Mark
