Chapter 3 Integrating TIBCO Administrator with an LDAP Directory Server : Pre Loading User Objects

Pre Loading User Objects
When an application is running, a new user profile is created when a user first accesses the application. At that time, the default objects for the user’s profile are created in the administration domain’s LDAP repository.
Because of this activity, the administration server can become overloaded if many new users access the application in a short period of time. For example, this is especially applicable to TIBCO PortalBuilder applications directly after they go into production. In these situations, performance will be improved if you run the CorpUserSynchronizer utility.
Pre loading users is generally done before an application goes live, but can be done at any time when a mass import of users would be useful.
CorpUserSynchronizer Command Line Utility
The utility is located in the TIBCO_HOME/tra/5.9/bin directory. The domain name you provide must be configured to use an LDAP directory server.
 
C:\tibco\tra\5.9\bin>CorpUserSynchronizer -h
USAGE: CorpUserSynchronizer -domain <domain> [-clean] [-h|-?]
where
-domain <domain> - Name of a domain (case sensitive)
-clean - this will remove the users from domain that are no longer present in Corp LDAP
-h or -? - prints this help information
Note that the utility must be started with an option or an exception will result.
Importing Large User Bases
If you have a large number of users to import, the import operation may fail after processing only part of the LDAP directory’s contents. This happens because of low default values in certain LDAP directory server settings.
For iPlanet and Sun ONE Directory Servers, the timelimit, sizelimit and look-throughlimit are appropriately set.
For Microsoft Active Directory, the NTDSUTIL utility is used to configure the appropriate settings. See the Active Directory documentation for instructions.
A summary of results is provided in the console where you launched the utility and in the TIBCO Administrator log file.
