Directory Server

Identify your Directory Server requirements for your building module deployment. For specific information on Directory Server deployment, see the Directory Server Deployment Guide.

Consider the following Directory Server guidelines when you plan your Portal Server deployment:

• The amount of needed CPU in the Directory Server consumer replica processor set depends on the number of Portal Server instances in the building module as well as performance and capacity considerations.

• If possible, dedicate a Directory Server instance for the sole use of the Portal Server instances in a building module.

• Map the entire directory database indexes and cache in memory to avoid disk latency issues.

• When deploying multiple building modules, use a multi-master configuration to work around bottlenecks caused by the profile updates and replication overhead to the Directory Server supplier.
