|
|
<p>The attribute cache has the advantage of being able to resolve filters
|
|
in memory rather than in the database. It also has the advantage of being
|
|
updated each time an LDAP add, delete, modify, or modrdn operation is performed.</p>
|
|
<p>In deciding which attributes you want to store in memory, you need to consider:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The amount of memory available to the server</li>
|
|
<li>The size of the directory</li>
|
|
<li>The types of search filters the application typically uses
|
|
<a name="wq78"></a>
|
|
<div class="notetitle" id="wq78">Note:</div>
|
|
<div class="notebody">The attribute cache manager can resolve the following types of simple filters:
|
|
exact match filters and presence filters. It can resolve complex filters that
|
|
are conjunctive or disjunctive, and the subfilters must be exact match, presence,
|
|
conjunctive, or disjunctive.</div></li></ul>
|
|
<p>Not all attributes can be added to the attribute cache. To determine whether
|
|
or not an attribute can be added to the cache, use the ldapexop command:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>For attributes that can be added: <tt class="xph">ldapexop -op getattributes -attrType
|
|
attribute_cache -matches true</tt></li>
|
|
<li>For attributes that cannot be added: <tt class="xph">ldapexop -op getattributes -attrType
|
|
attribute_cache -matches false</tt></li></ul>
|
|
<p>Attribute caching can be configured two ways: manually or automatically.
|
|
To manually configure attribute caching, the administrator should perform
|
|
cn=monitor searches to understand how to make attribute caching most effective.
|
|
These searches return current information listing which attributes are cached,
|
|
the amount of memory used by each attribute cache, the total amount of memory
|
|
used by attribute caching, the amount of memory configured for attribute caching,
|
|
and a list of the attributes most often used in search filters. Using this
|
|
information, an administrator can change the amount of memory that is allowed
|
|
to be used for attribute caching, as well as which attributes to cache whenever
|
|
necessary based on new cn=monitor searches.</p>
|
|
<p>Alternatively, an administrator can configure automatic attribute caching.
|
|
When automatic attribute caching is enabled, the Directory Server tracks the
|
|
combination of attributes that would be most useful to cache within the memory
|
|
limits defined by the administrator. It then updates the attribute caching
|
|
at a time and time interval configured by the administrator.</p><img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /><img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" />
