How do I improve ldapsearch performance

[napomokoetle]

My environment:

Splunk Supporting Add-on for Active Directory 2.1.1
Splunk Enterprise 6.3.1
Running on Linux Centos 6.5

When I execute any LDAP search I have to wait for at least 5 minutes before I see results back! This is extremely slow. What can I do to troubleshoot this performance problem and improve the performance?

Kind regards,

This has been broken for as long as it has existed.

I check with an os based ldapsearch and it instantly returns. As soon as you try to do it in the addon it's pretty much useless. We have a massive number of use cases for this and we have to resort to using external tools 😞

Frustrating! Let's hope someone from Splunk or otherwise will hear our cry and help us out of our specific ldapsearch related pain Lucas K 😉 .
