Follow this page to manage the realm in a federated repository
configuration.
Before you begin
The settings that are available on the Performance panel are independent
options that pertain specifically to the federated repositories functionality.
These options do not affect your entire WebSphere Application Server configuration.
Procedure
- In the administrative console, click Security > Secure administration,
applications, and infrastructure.
- Under User account repository, select Federated repositories from
the Available realm definitions field and click Configure.
- Under Related items, click Manage repositories > repository_name.
- Under Additional properties, click Performance.
- Optional: Select the Limit search time option
and enter the maximum number of milliseconds that the Application Server can
use to search through your Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) entries.
- Optional: Select the Limit search returns option
and enter the maximum number of entries to return that match the search criteria.
- Optional: Select the Use connection pooling option
to specify whether the Application Server can store separate connections to
the LDAP server for reuse.
- Optional: Select the Enable context pool option
to specify whether multiple applications can use the same connection to the
LDAP server. If you select the option, specify the initial, preferred, and
maximum number of entries that can use the same connection. The Enable
context pool option can be enabled either in conjunction with the Use
connection pool option or separately. If this option is disabled, a new
connection is created for each context. You can also select the Context
pool times out option and specify the number of seconds after which the
entries in the context pool expire.
- Optional: Select the Cache the attributes option
and specify the maximum number of search attribute entries. This
option enables WebSphere Application Server to save the LDAP entries so that
it can search the entries locally rather than making multiple calls to the
LDAP server. Click the Cache times out option that is associated with
the Cache the attributes option to specify the maximum number of seconds
that the Application Server can save these entries.
- Optional: Select the Cache the search results option
and specify the maximum number of search result entries. This option
enables WebSphere Application Server to save the results of a search inquiry
instead of making multiple calls to the LDAP server to search and retrieve
the results of that search. Click the Cache times out option that is
associated with the Cache the search results option to specify the
maximum number of seconds that the Application Server can save the results.
Results
These options are available to potentially increase the performance
of your federated repositories configuration. However, the any increase in
performance is dependant upon your specific configuration.
