When connection pooling is enabled, the LDAP directory server maintains a pool of connections and assigns them as needed. When a connection is closed, the directory server returns the connection to the pool for future use. This can improve performance significantly.

Use system properties instead of updating the settings in the application

Because of a bug, the ‘Update Settings’ form used to specify the LDAP connection pool properties directly in the application won’t work. Any values that you set will not have any effect. Use this page to configure the connection pool using system properties instead.

Configure the LDAP connection pool

To configure the JNDI connection pool:

  1. Go to <installation-directory>/bin, and edit the setenv.sh (Linux) or setenv.bat (Windows) file.

  2. Set the properties from the table below, for example: 

    -Dcom.sun.jndi.ldap.connect.pool.initsize=2
-Dcom.sun.jndi.ldap.connect.pool.prefsize=1
-Dcom.sun.jndi.ldap.connect.pool.maxsize=20
