Mapping the Connection Pool Configuration

Directory Proxy Server 5 can be configured to reuse existing connections to the backend LDAP servers. This can provide a significant performance gain if the backend servers are on a Wide Area Network (WAN). In Directory Proxy Server 6.3, this functionality is provided with connection pools that are configured in the backend server itself. For more information, see Chapter 19, LDAP Data Views, in Sun Java System Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 Administration Guide.

In iPlanet Directory Access Router 5.0 (IDAR) these configuration attributes are stored under ids-proxy-con-Config-Name=name,ou=global,ou=pd2,ou=iDAR,o=services. In Directory Proxy Server 5.2, these configuration attributes are stored under ids-proxy-con-Config-Name=user-defined-name,ou=system,ou=dar-config,o=netscaperoot.

The following table provides a mapping between Directory Proxy Server 5 connection configuration attributes and the corresponding Directory Proxy Server 6.3 properties.

ids-proxy-con-connection-pool-interval

The connection pool grows automatically to a configured maximum. The maximum is configured by setting the following properties of an LDAP data source: 

num-bind-init

num-bin-incr

num-bind-limit

num-read-init

num-read-incr

num-read-limit

num-write-init

num-write-incr
