Configuring an LDAP connection pool

An LDAP connection pool contains LDAP connections that the DataPower® Gateway can reuse to avoid establishing a new LDAP connection for each incoming LDAP request.

1. In the search field, enter ldap.
2. From the search results, click LDAP connection pool.
3. Click Add.
4. Define the basic properties - Name, administrative state, and comments.
5. Optional: In the Idle timeout field, modify the duration in seconds that an LDAP connection can remain idle before the connection is removed from the pool. Enter a value in the range 1-86400. The default value is 120.
6. Optional: In the Max pool size field, modify the maximum number of LDAP connections that can exist for a server:port:BindDN combination in the LDAP connection pool. Enter a value in the range 1-2000. The default value is 35.
7. Optional: Set Reject on pool limit to control whether to reject an incoming LDAP connection when the LDAP connection pool reaches the maximum pool size. By default, incoming connections are accepted after the pool reaches its maximum size.
