Re: Not able to handle more than a few thousand users?

Robert,

I have found that openldap 2.1.12 cannot handle my 3000 user database with any amount of change for any length of time without some form of index corruption. I am using perl to query the directory but I only change it from a php web interface.

Because I don't have the programming knowledge and time to try and duplicate the error in a lab environment I resorted to using the ldbm backend instead of bdb against db-4.1.25.

Hope that helps,

schu

I'm getting strange behavior on 2.1.12 running on HPUX 11.11 and using
Berkeley DB 4.1.25. I have a script which is adding users, one at a time,
using Perl LDAP, from another source. A thousand or so users, and it is
fine. But at around 3000 or so, LDAP suddenly becomes painfully slow and
finally gives up the ghost with an LDAP_OTHER error. At this point, the
slapd daemon froze. I restarted it, and could do searches for individual
users. But trying to dump the entire database is miserable slow--on the
order of longer than an hour.

Any ideas? Any other details which would be useful to know? I'm really at
quite a loss...

Any help appreciated greatly!
