+<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/TLS support is dependent on which LDAP toolkit has been
+ linked to <a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#apr" title="see glossary">APR</a>. As of this writing, APR-util supports:
+ <a href="http://www.openldap.org/">OpenLDAP SDK</a> (2.x or later),
+ <a href="http://developer.novell.com/ndk/cldap.htm">Novell LDAP
+ SDK</a>, <a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/LDAP_C_SDK">
+ Mozilla LDAP SDK</a>, native Solaris LDAP SDK (Mozilla based) or the
+ native Microsoft LDAP SDK. See the <a href="http://apr.apache.org">APR</a>
+ website for details.</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>
+
+ <p>LDAP connections can keep track of the ldap client
+ credentials used when binding to an LDAP server. These
+ credentials can be provided to LDAP servers that do not
+ allow anonymous binds during referral chasing. To control
+ this feature, see the
+ <code class="directive"><a href="#ldapreferrals">LDAPReferrals</a></code> and
+ <code class="directive"><a href="#ldapreferralhoplimit">LDAPReferralHopLimit</a></code>
+ directives. By default, this feature is enabled.</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 <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_authnz_ldap.html">mod_authnz_ldap</a></code>. 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>Note that, when group membership is being checked, any sub-group
+ comparison results are cached to speed future sub-group comparisons.</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>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;Location "/server/cache-info"&gt;
+ SetHandler ldap-status
+&lt;/Location&gt;</pre>
+
+
+ <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>

+
+ <h3><a name="settingcerts-netscape" id="settingcerts-netscape">Netscape/Mozilla/iPlanet SDK</a></h3>

+
+ <p>Client certificates are specified per connection using the
+ <code class="directive"><a href="#ldaptrustedclientcert">LDAPTrustedClientCert</a></code>
