SLAPD.EXE taking a lot of CPU Time
Posted: Sep 5, 2008 8:16 AM

Hi all,

I'm getting this stange issue on our Dev Boxes, when trying to launch a business rule, a process called slapd.exe (Open Ldap) takes up to 50 / 60 % of CPU time and it takes about 1 to 2 min for the prompts on the business rules to appear.
The system just seems to hang ...

Please let me know if you know how to resolve this,

Cheers,

Jeremie

Hi,

I came across tip for speeding up OpenLdap a while ago, I have never tested it as I have never found the need to but here it is :-

Stop the OpenLdap service

Open slapd.conf which is under SharedServices\openLDAP\

Locate

# Indices to maintain
index objectClass eq
index cn,ou,cssIdentity,member,cssRoleDN,cssProductCode,cssVersion eq
index cssDisplayNameDefault eq,sub

and add

index uniqueMember eq

Save/Close

run slapindex.exe -f c:\<location to slapd.conf>\slapd.conf

Start up OpenLdap service again.

Though this doesn't explain the reason why you are suddenly getting performance issues, do you have a large amount of native users/groups ?
If you are on 9.3.1 have you tried Sync Native Directory from Shared Services.

Cheers

John

John,

Thanks for your reply ! Trying this out now !
I am on 9.3.1. I had tried syncing the users in Shared Services but will give it another go.
We are using MSAD and a native groups. The size of the Berkeley DB is about 4/5 Mb ... So I'm not sure that would be the issue.
We are on 9.3.1. I had tried syncing the users in Shared Services but will give it another go.
I'll let you know the outcome.
Thanx

Hello,

We had the same problem. I also recommend you to create indexes for Berkley DB. There is a patches for Shared Services (7020560 9.3.1.0.01 or 7020732 9.3.1.0.03, I'm not sure) with instructions how to create indexes.

Regards,
YM
