I've got remote Zenoss servers that use LDAP over VPN. Some sites have higher latency than others, with the highest being 175ms RTT average. My UI became PAINFULLY slow after I integrated Zenoss with LDAP. I'm using LDAPUserFolder, LDAPMultiPlugins and python-ldap, per the guide (http://www.zenoss.com/community/docs/howtos/how-to-authenticate-via-ldap/).
After some research, I found the RAM Cache Manager, in Zope. I'm not sure how the caching is supposed to work in LDAPMultiPlugins, but I don't really think it's caching anything without this object. If it is, it's very slow or poorly implmented. To fix your UI woes: under /zport/acl_users in the ZMI ONE) From the Dropdown Menu in the upper right, add RAM Cache Manager. TWO) Give it a name. I called it 'AD Cache' THREE) Click on your new RAM Cache object to configure it FOUR) Leave the default Properties FIVE) Click on the 'Associations' tab SIX) Click locate SEVEN) Your LDAPMultiPlugins instance (whatever you named it) and userManager will appear as objects that you can associate with the RAM Cache. EIGHT) Check both and select 'Save Changes' You should now have a quick UI again after some things cache. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=23927#23927 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
