Using JAVASSO Participant Application, OC4J Keeps Too Many Connections Against the 3rd Ldap Server (Doc ID 779516.1)

Last updated on FEBRUARY 13, 2024

Applies to:

Oracle Containers for J2EE - Version 10.1.3.1.0 to 10.1.3.4.0 [Release AS10gR3]
Information in this document applies to any platform.
This problem can occur on any platform.

Symptoms

When accessing a Java SSO participant application that has been configured to use LDAP server Security Provider, each one of the single accesses to a protected resource, ends in an LDAP server access, even if the JSSO existing session is correctly identified.

The expected behavior would be:

a) The first time a user access to the application, the LDAP access to validate user name with the provider credentials and retrieves a valid subject,
b) All the following access to the secured pages should be LDAP transparent, because a JSSO session exists, hence, no additional access to LDAP server should be required.
The behavior observed is that in case b) there are new connections established against the LDAP server.

The consequences of this are that the performance of the application is not as good as expected, and also the LDAP server gets a continuous increase of new connections that at the end forces to restart it.
