Identificação dos recursos de software que causam impacto no desempenho do perfil móvel em LDAP

Abstract

Because of the difficulty of managing users on different computer network services, today there is a tendency to centralize data using LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol). With centralization, network management becomes simpler. An example is the integration between OpenSource LDAP, Samba and NFS (Network File System), known collectively by the term roaming profile. Roaming profile service allows users to use multiple computers always accessing the same data, which are centralized, such as authentication and also the desktop. However, the proper functioning of the roaming profile requires a large amount of IT resources. This paper was identified that NFS is the main service that impact in the performance, especially demanding many network resources and hard disk. In this sense, tests were performed to identify the main parameters of NFS and also other services that compose the roaming profile.
