High Server Utilization with LDAP
Articles and Tips: qna

Q.
I have a dual processor server running NetWare 6 with Support Pack 1. I have noticed very high server utilization on both processors pegging at 100%. This typically happens during the high utilization times of the day (8am - 5pm).
When this happens, users can't to log in to the server. I have noted that there is high utilization in both NLDAP.NLM and LDAP. And the ringer, if I unload LDAP, the server utilization will return to normal. What's going on?

Dear Utilized: Lucky for you, the fix is not bad. Update your NetWare 6 server to Support Pack 2 (NW6sp2.exe) as well as Support Pack 2 for eDirectory 8.6.2 (eDir862SP2.exe). By updating to Support Pack 2 for eDirectory 8.6.2, you get a new version of NLDAP.NLM. This version is 10320.05 and is dated August 12, 2002. The new NLDAP fixes the following issues:
Resolves high utilization issues
Resolves a memory leak condition
Resolves possible index corruption
Attributes with trailing spaces added to Ldap mappings
Resolves Abend in LDAP on BOMA
Improvement in LDAP performance and server utilization
Searches now complete on cn attribute with Cyrillic characters
So you will be in business.
