Greetings, In our company, we are conducting on a research on how we can use the GLUU capabilities in order to authenticate users from different LDAP sources. Ldap sources in question are big databases with hundred of thousands of people in each sources. For that matter, we choose the GLUU 3.1.4, which has the option of Cache Refresh. I managed to syncronize two different LDAP sources: First: Company Microsoft AD. Number of people: 25000 Second: OpenLDAP server on a virtual machine. Number of people: User defined Syncronization in done every 5 minutes. Our frontend application can use GLUU backend and uses identification with tokens, that GLUU sends back to the front user. From the point of view of the end user, he needs to know only his username and password and GLUU uses it to authenticate, without internally storing the authentication. So far so good. Then, I used only one backend server (the OpenLDAP) because I wanted to test the capacity. I tried then to change the number of users on the backend OpenLDAP server and recorder this data from the /opt/gluu/jetty/identity/logs/oxtrust_cache_refresh.log. ``` 10000 entries - 1 entry updated ______________________________________ 2018-12-10 13:32:52,622 INFO [Thread-252] [gluu.oxtrust.ldap.cache.service.CacheRefreshTimer] (CacheRefreshTimer.java:318) -

For a 200000 big source, that is about 27 seconds for loading and 10 seconds for updating, just for one changed entry (typical case) In the time this update takes place, CPU on GLUU server is loaded 99-100 percent and user that want to use GLUU to authenticate can run into a problem, because of this. As we want our system to be capable of running 24/7 in order to execute transactions, this can be a bottleneck in otherwise effective system for syncronizing authentication. I tried to directly see the one user changed by using the timestamp and found that the answer I get with ldapsearch is withing 1.5 seconds: ``` [root@fedora-int ~/ApacheDirectoryStudio]# time sh test_ldap_modify.sh # extended LDIF # # LDAPv3 # base <ou=Users,ou=Slovenia,dc=snt-ext,dc=com> with scope subtree # filter: (modifyTimestamp>=20181210143600Z) # requesting: modifyTimestamp # # A004998 Bot, Users, Slovenia, snt-ext.com dn: cn=A004998 Bot,ou=Users,ou=Slovenia,dc=snt-ext,dc=com modifyTimestamp: 20181210143629Z # search result search: 2 result: 0 Success # numResponses: 2 # numEntries: 1 real 0m1,578s user 0m0,003s sys 0m0,005s ``` The other problem we found is when we wanted a bigger source (400000 users). We ran into a problem, because of Java heap space. java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space GLUU Server was unresponsive after that. What is the correct way to incease this heap space for java to be able to work with 400000 users and more?

Hi Aleksandar, Two points: - Don't use OpenLDAP; we are still not confident about keeping OpenLDAP bit inside of Gluu server. Use the Gluu compiled OpenDJ bit which is shipped in Gluu Server. - For this amount of users, you need to 'separate' your Gluu-OpenDJ bit from oxAuth Server. That means... your oxAuth+oxTrust+other_bits will be in first VM and 'Gluu-OpenDJ' will be in another VM. So when the Cache Refresh will run, it won't disturb your oxAuth server for resource sharing and all.

Hello, Mohib, We use OpenDJ, as we are aware of the GLUU planning to discontinue support of the OpenLDAP. OpenLDAP is the backend server, we created, where we can create as many users as we want for test purposes, as it is mentioned already above. Problem here is the time GLUU takes to synchronize that many users from the OpenLDAP to OpenDJ. I beleive, that this is because there is ldapsearch to all entries, because of only the changed entries (let's say that we want to check and update openDJ for only the changed entries, this could for example be done by looking just the parameter "modifyTimestamp"). This is certainly not the case here, as I can see in this printout: ``` 200000 entries - 1 entry updated ____________________________________ 2018-12-10 15:06:52,613 INFO [Thread-1359] [gluu.oxtrust.ldap.cache.service.CacheRefreshTimer] (CacheRefreshTimer.java:318) - Attempting to load entries from source server 2018-12-10 15:07:19,427 INFO [Thread-1359] [gluu.oxtrust.ldap.cache.service.CacheRefreshTimer] (CacheRefreshTimer.java:327) - Found '200000' entries in source server ``` For the other question, I am not sure what you mean by: > you need to 'separate' your Gluu-OpenDJ bit from oxAuth Server. You mean, problem will be solved with two gluus, each installed on a different VM, in order for each to manage different kind of tasks? Doesn't this just add to complicity on already complicated Cache Refresh part? Do you have a working example on how this works?

Hi Aleksandar, 'First' Cache Refresh cycle will always take time to sync users in Gluu Server if you have big userbase; LDAP write operation is expensive. But afterwards, it just apply/load/sync changed entries which are there in your backend LDAP server. >> you need to 'separate' your Gluu-OpenDJ bit from oxAuth Server. Gluu Server is by default combination of softwares: oxAuth+oxTrust+Gluu-OpenDJ LDAP+ Apache + Passport etc in one VM, right? What I suggested... you 'extract' that 'Gluu-OpenDJ LDAP' software from above VM and put this bit in separate VM. "oxAuth+oxTrust+Apache+Passport" will 'talk' to that remote 'Gluu-OpenDJ' VM. In above situation, when your Cache Refresh will run... remote VM's full resource will be utilized by Cache Refresh without hampering oxAuth+oxTrust+Passport. We do have customers who are in production with above setup.

/etc/default/ inside container. You need to play with 'identity' one for CR related Java heap size.

Hello, Mohib. I did play with identity heap size and made a progress. But, we are restricted by the RAM memory size. So I tried implementing GlUU's Cluster manager to distribute the load between the two servers. It also worked quite good. What I noticed, is that the Cluster Manager now uses a native persistence for cache-ing, instead of Redis, like it was in the previous version of GLUU. There is not much written about Native persistence in [https://gluu.org/docs/ce/admin-guide/oxtrust-ui/] Can you explain what is behind of the native persistence technology? Greetings, Aleksandar

Hi Aleksandar, Native persistence caching means... your sessions are stored in internal LDAP and shared among Gluu Server nodes through LDAP replication.

Thank you, Mohib. What do you suggest for the clustering and lessening the load bearing, redis or native persistense?

Personally I like native because I don't need to go with redis configuration and it has been working great for our mission critical customers who are using cluster-manager for SAML+OpenID connect protocol apps.

Thank you for your response, Mohib. I'll try to make use of the setup to eventually get to 1 000 000 users distributed on 3 machines. That is our final goal. Best regards, Aleksandar
