Sun Java System Delegated Administrator 6.4 Administration Guide

Speed Up Display of Users, Groups, and Organizations

If an organization contains many users, the Delegated Administrator console may take time to display the User list page. If you try to create or edit a user while the page is still loading the existing users, an error occurs. Do not click any buttons or links until the page is ready.

Similarly, it can take time to open the Organization page or Group page if your directory contains many organizations or groups.

If these pages take too long to load, you can set wild-card search properties to a sufficiently low value to allow the pages to load quickly.

The properties are

jdapi-wildusersearchmaxresults

Search property for users.

jdapi-groupsmaxsearchresults

Search property for groups.

jdapi-wildorgsearchmaxresults

Search property for organizations.

The wild-card search property limits are as follows:

-1

Return all results. (Display all users, groups, or organizations.) -1 is the default value.

0

Do not search. (Display no users, groups, or organizations.)

n (>0)

Return n (the specified number of results).

ProcedureTo display the User page more quickly

  1. Open the resource.properties file.

    The resource.properties file is located in the following directory:


    da-base/data/WEB-INF/classes/sun/comm/cli/server/servlet
  2. Set the value of jdapi-wildusersearchmaxresults to a low value. For example:

    jdapi-wildusersearchmaxresults=50

    Alternatively, you can set the value to 0 to display no users. In the Delegated Administrator console, use the Search drop-down list to search for specified users.

  3. Redeploy the edited resource.properties file to the Web container used by the Delegated Administrator server.

    Before the change can take effect, you must run the script that deploys the customized resource.properties file to your Web container.

    For instructions on how to deploy a customized properties file to a particular Web container, see To Deploy a Customized Configuration File.
