UVMS logs misleading "LDAP_USE_POOL" warning in uvserver.log

Products

• Automic Dollar Universe

Issue/Introduction

The uvserver.log on the Univiewer Management Server (UVMS) 7.01.21 is flooded with warning messages similar to:

|WARN | request-worker-## | LDAP Connection Pool: DISABLED - This WILL cause thread proliferation! "STRONGLY recommend enabling connection pooling (set LDAP_USE_POOL=true in ldap.xml)

The ldap.xml being used does not contain the section below:

<connectionPool>YES</connectionPool>

Environment

UVMS 7.01.21 with LDAP authentication

Cause

This is a known product defect (DE207004). The message was introduced in recent versions (7.01.21) but is misleading because LDAP_USE_POOL is not a valid configuration parameter for UVMS.

Resolution

Workaround:

To resolve the logging noise, follow these steps:

1. Remove any instances of the invalid <LDAP_USE_POOL> tag from the ldap.xml configuration file.
2. Add the valid <connectionPool> tag instead to the ldap.xml:
   xml

   <instance name="LDAP Repository">
      <host>your.ldap.host</host>
      <port>636</port>
      <SSL>YES</SSL>
      <connectionPool>YES</connectionPool>
   </instance>

3. Restart the UVMS service to apply the changes.

For further information on LDAP configuration, refer to the Dollar Universe Documentation.
