SPARC T5-2 Obtains Oracle Internet Directory Benchmark World Record Performance [30434]
944,624 LDAP searches/sec
Oracle's SPARC T5-2 server running Oracle Internet Directory (OID, Oracle's LDAP Directory Server) on Oracle Solaris 11 achieved a record result for LDAP searches/second with 1000 clients: 944,624 LDAP searches/sec averaging latency of 1.05 ms with 1000 clients, demonstrating 2.7x better throughput and 39% better latency over similarly configured OID and SPARC T4 benchmark environment. Oracle Internet Directory achieved near linear scaling on the SPARC T5-2 server with 68,399 LDAP searches/sec with 2 cores to 944,624 LDAP searches/sec with 32 cores and up to 12,453 LDAP modifys/sec with an average latency of 3.9 msec for 50 clients.

Configuring a Basic LDAP Server + Client in Solaris 11 [30151]
A How-to that Results in an extra LDAP Server
In his post on Configuring a Basic LDAP Server + Client in Solaris 11, Paul Johnson concedes that, while Solaris 11 ships with OpenLDAP to use as an LDAP server, users require a simple slapd.conf file and an LDIF schema file to populate the database. After suggesting (and demonstrating how) to change the lines suffix and rootdn to better represent respective network naming schema, Johnson addresses the procedure for changing the LDAP manager password, then he demonstrates the group, world and single user he has created and proceeds to turning on the LDAP server that is up, populated, and ready to authenticate against.

Delegation of Solaris Zone Administration [26855]
Enabling Management of Distinct Zones by Particular Admins
In Delegation of Solaris Zone Administration, Darren Moffat blogs that, with the Zone Delegation feature built in to Solaris 11, users delegate management of distinct zones. Moffat uses the example of zones named zoneA through zoneF and three admins to each of whom it is necessary to grant a subset of the zone management. One can either add the admin resource to the appropriate zones via zonecfg(1M) or store data directly in the RBAC database, showing all three admins and zones. One can also create an RBAC profile that then assigns the appropriate degree of administrative responsibility to each admin.

Making Use of NFS v4 and LDAP for Shared Authentication [25439]
Solves Problems with Earlier Protocols in Maintaining File Consistency
Among the capabilities of the stateful NFS v4 protocol are that, unlike its stateless predecessor, NFS v3, it does not require the use of the Network Lock Manager to maintain file consistency. A further advantage of NFS v4 is that it can make use of LDAP to provide appropriate access to any directory or file. Blogger Donald has posted an explanation of how to install and get a very basic LDAP server operational and configure the Linux compute nodes and ZFS storage appliance of an Exalogic to use LDAP to access the users, passwords and hosts from the directory.
