The JVM Memory Settings (Heap Size) for the application server must be a minimum of 512 MB. However, if you plan to use an LDAP repository with large user base (for example, 100,000 users), then it is strongly recommended that you increase the Heap Size to 1 GB or higher.

To set the Heap Size to 512 MB, use the -Xmx512M JVM memory setting.Similarly, to set the Heap Size to 1 GB, use the -Xmx1024M setting.

 

Note: Do not set the -Xms parameter.
