We had a 6.1b instalation that worked fine more or less until we had a corporate mandated conversion to Active Directory. I can’t be sure that’s what caused the problem, but now logging in takes 2 or 3 minutes as oposed to a few seconds before… Logging into 5.1 full-client has no problems. 6.1 zabo is also fine. Does anybody see a connection between the conversion and the slow login? I’m not a network administrator… From what I’m told, it doesn’t make sense, because 5.1 works fine…
It does cache security info but what I’ve seen so far is that it only refreshes on a schedule you define in the admin panel. I’ve also manually refreshed it.
We have it setup to update the cache every few hours. I don’t know why or how it would update it every login.
I was thinking that maybe it was an authentication problem between the workstation and the server hosting the repository database. But that sort of thing is really beyond me.
Did you manage to resolve this problem? (or does anybody have any other ideas?)
My problem seems to be the same:
2-tier applications take 80 seconds to log on.
Zabo is instant.
Logging on offline is instant.
This seems to be true of every user on every client at every time.
We us windows authentication, XP Clients, Windows 2000 Server, SQL server 2000 repository.
The Repository Hierarchy is flat (no groups within groups)
I’ve Repaired/Compacted the repository to no avail.
Our problem was solved mysteriously after a couple of days and calls to network people at corporate headquarters. Although nobody admitted to fixing any problems (they never do), we suspect that active directory settings were the culprit, and corporate somehow fixed them.
Check the array fetch size of your BOMain key. Try different settings (configured in Supervisor’s Safe Recovery), including an array fetch size of 1 (disabled).
I rolled this out successfully after Christmas.
Then suddenly last w/e, the login time shot backup exactly where it was before I adjusted the sbo file. “HardRefresh=1” doesn’t work any more and I am back to square 1.
