Hi Kevin,
I am using OpenLDAP in our environment. I've been thinking to migrate FDS.
I was wondering how FDS compares with OpenLDAP in terms of performance.
They are similar, especially when using recent versions of OL (2.2.24 or
later) with the back-bdb (BDB 4.2.52 + patches). It seems that the
default configuration (and auto-configuration functions) with FDS make
it easier to get good performance "out of the box". OpenLDAP requires a
bit more digging and tweaking. I would say that there is no reason to
choose one over the other strictly on performance alone - both servers
are "fast enough" for almost any application.
If you don't mind me asking how big is your current LDAP
infrastructure in terms of entries and number of connections/sec.? How
well your test FDS performs compare to your current LDAP server?
I would appreciate your input.
Thanks.
Sam
