HTTP Server Configuration
There are many factors affecting gateway performance on an HTTP server, including the
following:
•
The number of users accessing the gateway at a given time.
•
The complexity of the directory searches performed and the search results required.
•
Whether the gateway is additionally to be used for authentication and login.
•
The load from other processes managed by the host machine.
•
The speed and performance of the computer hardware selected for the host computer.
•
The speed and capacity of the network (network hardware and software).
In general, gateway performance on the Administration Server will begin to slow down
when the number of users accessing the gateway throughout the enterprise reaches 6,000
people. (This is a very general recommendation that does not take into account factors
listed above, especially the speed of the host machine.)
NOTE
Running the Gateway in High-Usage Networks
Network administrators expecting high gateway usage may wish to move the gateway to a
high-performance HTTP server that is dedicated to running the gateway.
