Chapter 5 Advanced Topics : Maintaining Connections to an LDAP Directory Server

Maintaining Connections to an LDAP Directory Server
TIBCO applications maintain a pool of connections to an LDAP directory server for authorization purposes. These connections are automatically reconnected when these are found to be broken.
The connection pool properties are defined with default values when the installer sets up TIBCO Administrator. The values for some of the properties can be overridden in the tibcoadmin_domain-name.tra file, which is written in the TIBCO_ADMIN_DOMAIN_HOME\domain-name\bin folder after the domain is created.
These properties apply to both LDAP directory server connections and database connections. The properties are listed next with their default values:
The expiryInterval and waitTimeoutInterval property values are specified in milliseconds.
At runtime if a value is specified for one of the above properties in the tibcoadmin_domain.tra file, it is used instead of the value set at install time.
The connections are maintained for subscribing to group information changes. They are automatically reconnected when found to be broken. These connections must be kept alive when a TIBCO application is across a firewall, since a firewall can break these connections after certain period of inactivity.
When these connections are reconnected, it is necessary to perform complete synchronization of group information again. Similarly when real-time subscriber connections used by the TIBCO Administrator service are reconnected, the group-synchronized roles must be synchronized again. See the TIBCO Administrator User’s Guide for details.
