system activity is low, then connections that have been idle for a specified
period of time (configurable in the ldapclientd.conf file) then those
connections will be dropped, to free up directory server resources. Aside
from ldapclientd connection time-out configuration, it is also possible to
define a maximum number of connections that ldapclientd may
establish. Setting a high number of connections means assures that
ldapclientd will not become a bottleneck in performing name service
operations to the directory server. However, a high number of
connections from a large number of HP-UX clients to the same directory
server may exhaust all available connection resources on that directory
server. Setting a low number of maximum connections will reduce that
resource requirement on the directory server, but may create a
performance bottleneck in the ldapclientd.
