Re: referral and performance

well, the point is, that the clients asking for authentication belong to a different subtree as the referral. We have 2 ldap main servers running for testing in different subnets and both of them react like i've described below.
Can it be a Berkeley DB problem? I have no DB_CONFIG to tune the database! Is it mandatory to ensure a normal functionality ?
If the referral is up again, than the same clients, located in a different subtree as the referral, obtain a login permition whithin round about 5 secs.

It works very fine!
But if the server to which this referral points go down, then the
response time of the main LDAP-Server (containing this referral) is >20
sec. Many clients close connection before getting any answer for
authentication. How can I avoid this problem?
Pls help!!


This seems strange as the main server will not follow the referral itself. It's the clients job to chase the referral. I suggest you trace the connection between your client and server with something like Ethereal to get an idea where exactly the delay occurs.
