Description
Hello
I'd like to use james in my current project, but I find LDAP implementation of usersRepository to be not very effective.
Especially method getUserByName(String name) in org.apache.james.user.ldap.ReadOnlyUsersLDAPRepository seems to search all users in LDAP with userBase and after that it goes through the result in memory and looking for specific user. Which produce search like this with potencialy big resultset:
SEARCH REQ conn=26 op=6 msgID=7 base="ou=people,dc=mycompany,dc=sk" scope=wholeSubtree filter="(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)" attrs="distinguishedName"
SEARCH RES conn=26 op=6 msgID=7 result=0 nentries=438 etime=169
SEARCH REQ conn=26 op=7 msgID=8 base="uid=somebody,ou=people,dc=mycompany,dc=sk" scope=baseObject filter="(objectClass=*)" attrs="ALL"
SEARCH RES conn=26 op=7 msgID=8 result=0 nentries=1 etime=1
... X more, where X is size-1 of userBase subtree
I suggest a patch that (at least in my case) does simple search instead:
<repository name="LocalUsers"
class="org.apache.james.user.ldap.ReadOnlyUsersLDAPRepository"
ldapHost="ldaps://ldap.mycomapny.local:1636"
principal="cn=admin"
credentials="***"
userBase="ou=people,dc=mycompany,dc=sk"
userIdAttribute="uid"
userObjectClass="inetOrgPerson"/>
SEARCH REQ conn=26 op=1 msgID=2 base="uid=test0123,ou=people,dc=mycompany,dc=sk" scope=baseObject filter="(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)" attrs="uid"
SEARCH RES conn=26 op=1 msgID=2 result=0 nentries=1 etime=1
There is only one assumption that distinguishedName for each entry in userBase is "userIdAttribute=$name,userBase", where $name is username. I don't think of it as of a strong restriction, but you should consider that and decide for yourself. It works just fine for me.
Also it looks like getUserByNameCaseInsensitive(String name) is not used anywhere, so you can stick with current implementation for now.
