<h3>Summary</h3>

    <p>This module was created to improve the performance of
    websites relying on backend connections to LDAP servers. In
    addition to the functions provided by the standard LDAP
    libraries, this module adds an LDAP connection pool and an LDAP
    shared memory cache.</p>

    <p>To enable this module, LDAP support must be compiled into
    apr-util. This is achieved by adding the <code>--with-ldap</code>
    flag to the <code class="program"><a href="../programs/configure.html">configure</a></code> script when building
    Apache.</p>

    <p>SSL support requires that <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> be linked
    with one of the following LDAP SDKs: <a href="http://www.openldap.org/">
    OpenLDAP SDK</a> (both 1.x and 2.x), <a href="http://developer.novell.com/ndk/cldap.htm">
    Novell LDAP SDK</a> or the <a href="http://www.iplanet.com/downloads/developer/">
    iPlanet(Netscape)</a> SDK.</p>

<h2><a name="pool" id="pool">LDAP Connection Pool</a></h2>

    <p>LDAP connections are pooled from request to request. This
    allows the LDAP server to remain connected and bound ready for
    the next request, without the need to unbind/connect/rebind.
    The performance advantages are similar to the effect of HTTP
    keepalives.</p>

    <p>On a busy server it is possible that many requests will try
    and access the same LDAP server connection simultaneously.
    Where an LDAP connection is in use, Apache will create a new
    connection alongside the original one. This ensures that the
    connection pool does not become a bottleneck.</p>

    <p>There is no need to manually enable connection pooling in
    the Apache configuration. Any module using this module for
    access to LDAP services will share the connection pool.</p>

<div class="section">
<h2><a name="cache" id="cache">LDAP Cache</a></h2>

    <p>For improved performance, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> uses an aggressive
    caching strategy to minimize the number of times that the LDAP
    server must be contacted. Caching can easily double or triple
    the throughput of Apache when it is serving pages protected
    with mod_auth_ldap. In addition, the load on the LDAP server
    will be significantly decreased.</p>

    <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> supports two types of LDAP caching during
    the search/bind phase with a <em>search/bind cache</em> and
    during the compare phase with two <em>operation
    caches</em>. Each LDAP URL that is used by the server has
    its own set of these three caches.</p>

    <h3><a name="search-bind" id="search-bind">The Search/Bind Cache</a></h3>
      <p>The process of doing a search and then a bind is the
      most time-consuming aspect of LDAP operation, especially if
      the directory is large. The search/bind cache is used to
      cache all searches that resulted in successful binds.
      Negative results (<em>i.e.</em>, unsuccessful searches, or searches
      that did not result in a successful bind) are not cached.
      The rationale behind this decision is that connections with
      invalid credentials are only a tiny percentage of the total
      number of connections, so by not caching invalid
      credentials, the size of the cache is reduced.</p>

      <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> stores the username, the DN
      retrieved, the password used to bind, and the time of the bind
      in the cache. Whenever a new connection is initiated with the
      same username, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> compares the password
      of the new connection with the password in the cache. If the
      passwords match, and if the cached entry is not too old,
      <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> bypasses the search/bind phase.</p>

      <p>The search and bind cache is controlled with the <code class="directive"><a href="#ldapcacheentries">LDAPCacheEntries</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="#ldapcachettl">LDAPCacheTTL</a></code> directives.</p>
    

    <h3><a name="opcaches" id="opcaches">Operation Caches</a></h3>
      <p>During attribute and distinguished name comparison
      functions, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> uses two operation caches
      to cache the compare operations. The first compare cache is
      used to cache the results of compares done to test for LDAP
      group membership. The second compare cache is used to cache
      the results of comparisons done between distinguished
      names.</p>

      <p>The behavior of both of these caches is controlled with
      the <code class="directive"><a href="#ldapopcacheentries">LDAPOpCacheEntries</a></code>
      and <code class="directive"><a href="#ldapopcachettl">LDAPOpCacheTTL</a></code>
      directives.</p>
    

    <h3><a name="monitoring" id="monitoring">Monitoring the Cache</a></h3>
      <p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> has a content handler that allows
      administrators to monitor the cache performance. The name of
      the content handler is <code>ldap-status</code>, so the
      following directives could be used to access the
      <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> cache information:</p>

      <div class="example"><p><code>
        &lt;Location /server/cache-info&gt;<br />
        <span class="indent">
          SetHandler ldap-status<br />
        </span>
        &lt;/Location&gt;
      </code></p></div>

      <p>By fetching the URL <code>http://servername/cache-info</code>,
      the administrator can get a status report of every cache that is used
      by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> cache. Note that if Apache does not
      support shared memory, then each <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> instance has its
      own cache, so reloading the URL will result in different
      information each time, depending on which <code class="program"><a href="../programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code>
      instance processes the request.</p>

<div class="section">
<h2><a name="usingssltls" id="usingssltls">Using SSL</a></h2>

    <p>The ability to create an SSL connections to an LDAP server 
    is defined by the directives <code class="directive"><a href="#&#10;    ldaptrustedca">
    LDAPTrustedCA</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="#&#10;    ldaptrustedcatype">
    LDAPTrustedCAType</a></code>. These directives specify the certificate
    file or database and the certificate type. Whenever the LDAP url
    includes <em>ldaps://</em>, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> will establish
    a secure connection to the LDAP server.</p>

    <div class="example"><p><code>
      # Establish an SSL LDAP connection. Requires that <br />
      # mod_ldap and mod_auth_ldap be loaded. Change the <br />
      # "yourdomain.example.com" to match your domain.<br />
      <br />
      LDAPTrustedCA /certs/certfile.der<br />
      LDAPTrustedCAType DER_FILE<br />
      <br />
      &lt;Location /ldap-status&gt;<br />

        Require valid-user<br />
      </span>
      &lt;/Location&gt;
    </code></p></div>

    <p>If <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> is linked against the
    Netscape/iPlanet LDAP SDK, it will not talk to any SSL server
    unless that server has a certificate signed by a known Certificate
    Authority. As part of the configuration
    <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_ldap.html">mod_ldap</a></code> needs to be told where it can find
    a database containing the known CAs. This database is in the same
    format as Netscape Communicator's <code>cert7.db</code>
    database. The easiest way to get this file is to start up a fresh
    copy of Netscape, and grab the resulting
    <code>$HOME/.netscape/cert7.db</code> file.</p>
