Other (third party) <strong>LDAP</strong> servers might work with the N2L service,but they are not supported by Sun. If you are using an <strong>LDAP</strong> server other than theSun Java System <strong>Directory</strong> Server or compatible Sun servers, you must manuallyconfigure the server to support RFC 2307, or its successors’, schemas.If you are using the Sun Java System <strong>Directory</strong> Server, you can enhance the directoryserver to improve performance. To make these enhancements, you must have <strong>LDAP</strong>administrator privileges on the Sun Java System <strong>Directory</strong> Server. In addition, thedirectory server might need to be rebooted, a task that must be coordinated with theserver’s <strong>LDAP</strong> clients. The Sun Java System <strong>Directory</strong> Server (<strong>and</strong> Sun ONE <strong>and</strong>iPlanet <strong>Directory</strong> Server) documentation is available on the docs.sun.com web site.Creating Virtual List View Indexes With Sun JavaSystem <strong>Directory</strong> ServerFor large maps, <strong>LDAP</strong> virtual list view (VLV) indexes must be used to ensure <strong>LDAP</strong>searches return complete results. For information about setting up VLV indexes on theSun Java System <strong>Directory</strong> Server, see the Sun Java System <strong>Directory</strong> Serverdocumentation on the docs.sun.com web site.VLV search results use a fixed page size of 50000. If VLVs are used with Sun JavaSystem <strong>Directory</strong> Server, both the <strong>LDAP</strong> server <strong>and</strong> N2L server must be able to h<strong>and</strong>letransfers of this size. If all of your maps are known to be smaller than this limit, youdo not need to use VLV indexes. However, if your maps are larger than the size limit,or you are unsure of the size of all maps, use VLV indexes to avoid incomplete returns.Chapter 15 • Transitioning From <strong>NIS</strong> to <strong>LDAP</strong> (Overview/Tasks) 241
