How to Improve Directory Search Performance
To improve the performance of directory searches for users, organizations, and groups, do the following:
- Index the attributes that administrators can specify in search queries.
Note: For Oracle Internet Directory, a search may fail when an attribute in a search query is not indexed.
- Override the default directory timeout setting by specifying values for the following search parameters in a directory configuration file (directory.xml):
- maxpagesizeMaximum page size for search results.
- maxrowsMaximum number of rows returned after a search.
- timeoutMaximum number of seconds that Identity Manager searches a directory before terminating the search.
- Create multiple SiteMinder User Directory Connections and configure them for failover. Be sure that each user directory connection points to the same user directory and port.
Configuring multiple SiteMinder User Directory connections for failover provides additional connections to the user directory. When one connection is busy, there are other connections available for requests.
Note: For more information on configuring user directories for CA Identity Manager, see the Configuration Guide.
- Tune the user directory. See the documentation for the user directory that you are using.
