LDAP WAAS 4.1.1d

[JHaynes4]

I have noticed that our Directory Services traffic (LDAP) is showing an increase rather than a reduction. I've run into similar issues with Citrix and know that is due to Citrix native compression and encryption and deal with that by altering the policy to use only TFO. However, I don't see why the same thing should happen with LDAP as there are passthrough features for secure LDAP traffic. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks...

Normally pure LDAP is extremely compressable, so I would look at the following classifiers to see if you have some non-LDAP traffic hitting them causing your reporting to be skewed.

Directory-Services

LDAP (optimize full)

match dst port eq 389

match dst port eq 8404

LDAP-Global-Catalog (optimize full)

match dst port eq 3268

LDAP-Global-Catalog-Secure (passthrough)

match dst port eq 3269

LDAP-secure (passthrough)

match dst port eq 636

Maybe an encrypted/compressed application is using one of the LDAP ports?

I agree Dan. I've seen the LDAP traffic being comprseed rather dramatically in the past. I will check it out.
