Enhancements have been made to SOA Security Manager's LDAP referral handling to improve performance and redundancy. Previous versions of SOA Security Manager supported automatic LDAP referral handling through the LDAP SDK layer. When an LDAP referral occurred, the LDAP SDK layer handled the execution of the request on the referred server without any interaction with the Policy Server.
SOA Security Manager now includes support for non-automatic (enhanced) LDAP referral handling. With non-automatic referral handling, an LDAP referral is returned to the Policy Server rather than the LDAP SDK layer. The referral contains all of the information necessary to process the referral. The Policy Server can detect whether the LDAP directory specified in the referral is operational, and can terminate a request if the appropriate LDAP directory is not functioning. This feature addresses performance issues that arise when an LDAP referral to an offline system causes a constant increase in request latency. Such an increase can cause SOA Security Manager to become saturated with requests.
To configure LDAP referral handling
Important! If you are accessing this graphical user interface on Windows Server 2008, open the shortcut with Administrator permissions, even if you are logged into the system as an Administrator. For more information, see the release notes for your SOA Security Manager component.
Mark this check box to allow the Policy Server to use enhanced handling LDAP referrals at the Policy Server, rather than allowing LDAP referral handling by the LDAP SDK layer.
Indicates the maximum number of consecutive referrals that will be allowed while attempting to resolve the original request. Since a referral can point to a location that requires additional referrals, this limit is helpful when replication is misconfigured, causing referral loops.
