The administration server is running on SuSE Linux platform and the other one is running on a Win2k3 server.
The 2 Domino servers share default configuration document.
When trying to browse the directories using softerra LDAP browser I find that LDAP reads from the Linux based server is terrible slow, whilst the same operation is blistering on the Windows server.
There are, of course, hardware differences on the two servers. But not this much!!
You may want to check that your LDAP source directories have been full text indexed. This can help speed up LDAP responses. Search for “Full-text indexing directories served by the LDAP service” in the R8 Admin help file.
