Object Store Performance

Identity Manager stores information that it needs to manage users and entitlements in an object store. Having a large number of role objects in the object store may cause the following issues:

• Searches for managed objects on Identity Manager tasks screens may take longer.

  To reduce the impact on searches, index attributes used in searches.

• Role management tasks may execute slowly.

  Some examples of role management tasks that are affected by a large object store include the following:

  • A Create Admin Role task is slow because Identity Manager must confirm that the role name is unique in the object store.
  • The Delete Admin Role task must remove all objects created to support the role and the object cache must be updated.
• Identity Manager takes a long time to evaluate role policies.

Identity Manager caches information in the object store to improve performance.
