[xwiki-users] xwiki talks with the LDAP server for every page access

Hi. I have an Xwiki Enterprise 3.4 installation and I'm studying the integration with LDAP. I managed to configure the authentication, I created the users and mapped the groups with the LDAP server. But I noticed that the performance dropped dramatically when using LDAP auth, in comparison with local users, specifically it takes around 10 seconds to access a page (down from <3sec). So, I started monitoring the traffic between the xwiki machine and the LDAP machine with tshark and I noticed that every time I click a link in xwiki, there is a lot of traffic with LDAP. Is there some way to improve this behaviour (I really don't understand why xwiki needs to talk with the LDAP server on every page request...)? I see that this is not a new issue [1], [2]. I also tried setting xwiki.authentication.always=0 in xwiki.cfg but I didn't notice any change (it being set to 0 by default already...). Would upgrading to the latest stable version improve the situation? 1. http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/users/2011-April/019745.html 2. http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-2516 Thanks for your time. -- Fita Adrian
