             Project: JAMES Server
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: UsersStore & UsersRepository
    Affects Versions: 3.0-beta3
            Reporter: Peter Kvokacka
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 3.0-beta3


Hello 

I'd like to use james in my current project, but I find LDAP implementation of 
usersRepository to be not very effective.
Especially method getUserByName(String name) in 
org.apache.james.user.ldap.ReadOnlyUsersLDAPRepository seems to search all user 
in LDAP with userBase and after that it goes through the result in memory and 
looking for specific user. Which produce search like this with potencialy big 
resultset:
  SEARCH REQ conn=26 op=6 msgID=7 base="ou=people,dc=mycompany,dc=sk" 
scope=wholeSubtree filter="(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)" 
attrs="distinguishedName"
  SEARCH RES conn=26 op=6 msgID=7 result=0 nentries=438 etime=169
  SEARCH REQ conn=26 op=7 msgID=8 
base="uid=somebody,ou=people,dc=mycompany,dc=sk" scope=baseObject 
filter="(objectClass=*)" attrs="ALL"
  SEARCH RES conn=26 op=7 msgID=8 result=0 nentries=1 etime=1
  ... X more, where X is size-1 of userBase subtree

I suggest a patch that (at least in my case) does simple search instead:
  <repository name="LocalUsers"
      class="org.apache.james.user.ldap.ReadOnlyUsersLDAPRepository"
      ldapHost="ldaps://ldap.mycomapny.local:1636"
      principal="cn=admin"
      credentials="***"
      userBase="ou=people,dc=mycompany,dc=sk"
      userIdAttribute="uid"
      userObjectClass="inetOrgPerson"/>


  SEARCH REQ conn=26 op=1 msgID=2 
base="uid=test0123,ou=people,dc=mycompany,dc=sk" scope=baseObject 
filter="(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)" attrs="uid"
  SEARCH RES conn=26 op=1 msgID=2 result=0 nentries=1 etime=1

There is only one assumption that distinguishedName for each entry in userBase 
is "userIdAttribute=$name,userBase", where $name is username. I don't think of 
it as of a strong restriction, but you should consider that and decide for 
yourself. It works just fine for me.

Also it looks like getUserByNameCaseInsensitive(String name) is not used 
anywhere, so you can stick with current implementation for now.
