Chapter 3 Integrating TIBCO Administrator with an LDAP Directory Server : LDAP Synchronization Optimistic Option

LDAP Synchronization Optimistic Option
For both automatic and manual synchronization, an optimistic option is available to improve performance. This parameter is valid for LDAP directory servers with or without referrals.
The membership list of an LDAP group contains users, other groups (called sub groups) and potentially other LDAP entry types such as computers or networks. The group membership list does not distinguish members and only stores the DN for each of these entries. While computing the entire group membership, TIBCO applications and services must distinguish among the entries in the membership list. The sub group entries in the list are identified by their DNs, but for other entries the application must individually retrieve the LDAP entry for each DN. This is potentially a performance issue.
If the optimistic option is used, TIBCO applications and services assume that all entries that are not sub groups are valid users, and does not query the LDAP directory server. Using the optimistic option reduces the number of queries, and thus improves performance.
To Set the Optimistic Option
The optimistic option is set when creating an administration domain that integrates with an LDAP directory server. See the TIBCO Runtime Agent Domain Utility User’s Guide for details.
Prerequisites for Using the Optimistic Option
Before using this option, you must ensure that the following are true (otherwise unpredictable results may occur):
