How can I speed up LDAP access if the LDAP server is Active Directory? Parent topic

There are two methods to speed up access. The method you use depends on the port number you can use: port 389 or port 3268.
Active Directory uses port 3268 for the Global Catalog. LDAP queries directed to the global catalog are faster because they do not involve referrals to different domain controllers.

Note
Trend Micro recommends using port 3268 for LDAP queries to Active Directory.
Active Directory uses port 389 for LDAP query. If one item cannot be queried in one domain controller, it uses the LDAP referral mechanism to query another domain controller. Use port 389 if your company has only one domain or if port 3268 is unavailable.
