I guess a plugin startup may delay the DS startup itself and some pstack during that minute will give us some info. Regarding the krb authentication this is difficult to say if they are delayed by the number of users. You may issue something like 'ipa user-find <xxx>' and the access log should show if the authentication phase is really slow. thanks theirry <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 03/11/2016 02:52 PM, Daryl Fonseca-Holt wrote: </div> <blockquote cite="mid:56E2CD8C.9000808@umanitoba.ca" type="cite"> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"> <div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 03/11/16 02:40, thierry bordaz wrote: </div> <blockquote cite="mid:56E28490.6030406@redhat.com" type="cite"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> Hello Deryl, <blockquote>My understanding is that ns-slapd is first slow to startup. Then when krb5kdc is starting it may load ns-slapd. We identified krb5kdc may be impacted by the number of users accounts. From the ns-slapd errors log it is not clear why it is so slow to start.

Trying to set up a replica of a master with 150,000+ user accounts, NIS and Schema Compatability enabled on the master. During ipa-replica-install it attempts to start IPA. dirsrv starts, krb5kdc starts, but then kadmind fails because krb5kdc has gone missing. This happens during restart of IPA in version 3.0.0 too. There it can be overcome by manually starting each component of IPA _but_ waiting until ns-slapd-<instance> has settled down (as seen from top) before starting krb5kdc. I also think that the startup of krb5kdc loads the LDAP instance quite a bit. There is a problem in the startup logic where dirsrv is so busy that even though krb5kdc successfully starts and allows the kadmin to begin kdb5kdc is not really able to do its duties. I'm reporting this since there must be some way to delay the start of krb5kdc and then kadmind until ns-slapd-<instance> is really open for business. # systemctl status krb5kdc.service ● krb5kdc.service - Kerberos 5 KDC Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/krb5kdc.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: inactive (dead) Mar 10 14:19:13 jutta.cc.umanitoba.ca systemd[1]: Stopped Kerberos 5 KDC.
