Re^3: Keeping LDAP connections between program runs

Not that many, compared to some places

Please don't tell me you are using a ldbm backend? I hope it's a bdb (if you are using OpenLDAP that is).

True, but we're not the only client going against the server. Some other far more mission-critical services are generating at least as many hits as we are, so the numbers add up. We use a master node with a few replicas and this application is hitting one of the replicas. And yes, we're using BDB. Unfortunatly, we're using a fairly old version of OpenLDAP. We hope to switch to ADAM as soon as the next version is released, which should be the end of the calendar year.	[reply]

OK. I would however invest in an upgrade, as things are now very, very fast with the new HDB backend. I would advise against a switch to Microsoft ADAM, because for the sake of a little easier manangement (and probably quite a bit of Non-standards based LDAP parts), you will lose SO much control for SO much money. A no brainer really as to which to use (as well as the platform it is deployed on). Getting back to your OP, I would again suggest looking at the server setup. Just a few thoughts.
