Sun Java System Directory Proxy Server 5 2004Q2

> System Configuration Connections Tab
> Contains settings allowing configuration of how Directory Proxy Server maintains its connections.

> Connection backlog. Enter a value greater than zero specifying the maximum number of outstanding connections in the listening socket's queue. The default is 128 connections. The maximum value depends on the underlying operating system configuration.

> Specify maximum number of connections. Select the option and enter a value (greater than zero) specifying the maximum number of simultaneous client connections that DAR will accept. To allow an unlimited number of simultaneous connections, do not select this option.

> Enable Connection Pool. Enables the connection pool module with which DAR will preconnect to the directory servers. The default for the setting is disabled. If the connection pool is enabled, DAR will try to reuse existing connections to the backend LDAP servers. Switching on this option can give significant performance gain if the backend server is on a Wide Area Network (WAN). Enter the following values:

> Interval. Enter the number of seconds (greater or equal to one) specifying the interval in seconds at which DAR will sample the incoming requests to anticipate future activity. The default is 15.

> Specify timeout. Select the option and enter the number of seconds (greater or equal to zero) specifying the period of time in seconds after which an idle connection to an LDAP server will be terminated. If the checkbox is unchecked, no timeout will be applied. The default is 30. This value should be less than the idle connection timeout value of the backend LDAP server.
