Configuring LDAP Repository Components

When you set up the LDAP repository, you must configure the InitialContextEnvironment (/atg/adapter/ldap/InitialContextEnvironment) component to point to your LDAP server. You probably should also configure a number of other components that control the LDAP repository’s settings, performance, and caching behavior. The LDAP repository includes the following components:

LDAP Repository Component	Description
/atg/adapter/ldap/LDAPRepository	The repository of LDAP profiles.
/atg/adapter/ldap/InitialContextPool	A resource pool (`JNDIInitialContextPool`) used to pool connections to the LDAP server.
/atg/adapter/ldap/InitialContextEnvironment	Specifies the JNDI environment properties used to create a JNDI `InitialDirContext`.
/atg/adapter/ldap/LDAPItemCache	An LRU cache that maps repository item IDs to persistent repository items.
/atg/adapter/ldap/LDAPItemCacheAdapter	A component used by the `LDAPItemCache` to retrieve persistent repository items from the directory.
/atg/adapter/ldap/LDAPQueryCache	An LRU cache that maps repository search queries to the repository item IDs of the query results.
/atg/adapter/ldap/LDAPQueryCacheAdapter	A component used by the `LDAPQueryCache` to perform repository queries.

These LDAP repository components can be configured with the properties described below.
