Storage LDAP pooling

Pointsharp ID comes with an advanced pooling technology for communications with the storages. This technology enables Pointsharp ID to dynamically adapt to the current load of the system in real-time. This means that that a set number of connections are set up against the storage, and used in a pool where the first free connection is used to serve the incoming request. As the load increases, Pointsharp ID will increase the number of connections in the pool to serve the higher load, without lowering the performance of the system, and then release the extra connections when the load decreases.

The pooling configuration is accessed under each storage configuration by clicking the Advanced button.

This configuration is considered very advanced and should not be changed unless there is a specific need.

Parameter	Description
Min Pool Size	Set this to the minimum number of pooled connections for this storage connection. Default is 0.
Max Pool Size	Set this to the maximum number of pooled connections for this storage connection. Default this is 200. Setting this to 0 disables LDAP pooling.
Idle Timeout	The number of seconds a connection is allowed to be idle before it is disposed and not reused in the pooling.
Throttle Interval	If the storage connection is configured for failover with a primary and secondary host name, then set this throttle interval to the number of seconds after which no new failover switch will be allowed to be performed.
Work Interval	Set this to the interval (in seconds) that all connections are controlled for idle timeout. This may be tuned in cooperation with the Idle Timeout above.
Forced Switch Interval	If the storage connection is configured for failover with a primary and secondary host name, then set this interval to the number of seconds after which the connection is forced to switch back to the primary hostname.
Domain	This is only applicable for User Storage(s). Set to the name of the Directory domain for this user storage. This parameter is used when the Windows Group membership policy is evaluated.
Container	This is only applicable for User Storage(s). Set this to the root DN of the Directory domain for this user storage. This parameter is used when the Windows Group membership policy is evaluated.
Default	Resets all pooling settings to the default values.

Parameter

Description

Min Pool Size

Set this to the minimum number of pooled connections for this storage connection.

Default is 0.

Max Pool Size

Set this to the maximum number of pooled connections for this storage connection.

Default this is 200. Setting this to 0 disables LDAP pooling.

Idle Timeout

The number of seconds a connection is allowed to be idle before it is disposed and not reused in the pooling.

Throttle Interval

If the storage connection is configured for failover with a primary and secondary host name, then set this throttle interval to the number of seconds after which no new failover switch will be allowed to be performed.

Work Interval

Set this to the interval (in seconds) that all connections are controlled for idle timeout. This may be tuned in cooperation with the Idle Timeout above.

Forced Switch Interval

If the storage connection is configured for failover with a primary and secondary host name, then set this interval to the number of seconds after which the connection is forced to switch back to the primary hostname.

Domain

This is only applicable for User Storage(s). Set to the name of the Directory domain for this user storage. This parameter is used when the Windows Group membership policy is evaluated.

Container

This is only applicable for User Storage(s). Set this to the root DN of the Directory domain for this user storage. This parameter is used when the Windows Group membership policy is evaluated.

Default

Resets all pooling settings to the default values.
