Optimize LDAP search filters/queries
Hi,
We have a Pega Restful Service which has Custom authentication via LDAP. I am trying to achieve the targeted response time of ~ 250 ms for the API but have hit a roadblock. On analysing, I found that search in LDAP directory is the expensive transaction. It is contributing almost 70-80% of the current response time.
So, I am looking to optimize the search in LDAP directory using the Search Parameter option on the Authentication Service. I tried a few search criteria in Search filter but it didn't make a difference. Can anyone please suggest if we can tweak the Directory Context or Search filter that helps to achieve better search in ldap?
I have attached a screenshot of the current configuration.

The Directory Context and Search Filter in the Authentication Service are key parameters that can impact the search performance in LDAP. The Directory Context should be as specific as possible to the area of the LDAP directory where the users are located. This reduces the scope of the search and can improve performance. The Search Filter should be designed to be as efficient as possible. It should use indexed attributes if available. However, the exact values for these parameters would depend on the structure and configuration of your LDAP directory. You may need to work with your LDAP administrator to determine the optimal values. Also, consider using connection pooling and caching if not already in place, as these can also improve performance.
