Will a long filter string affect the search perfomance in ldap?

Will a long filter string affect the search perfomance in ldap?

Will it affect the search time?开发者_开发技巧

Thanks.

Off course it will, simply because its large :)

I would suggest 2 things:

1) Post a example search of what your trying to do in the post, perhaps you definition of large is different from other ppl.
2) Benchmark yourself to see, if the search takes 1 second and thats ok then you have solved your problem.

On a side note, you can direct ldap queries to spesifc domain controlers, so during testing and production perhaps aim it one of the "backup" domain contolers might be a good idea
