Recently i've migrated our SVN server (virtual machine) from C6 to C7 (more precisely - migrated data to freshly installed virtual machine). And we have problem with very slow authentication. Server is configured with SSSD, user data are fetching from our LDAP server. SVN is configured with apache (pwauth for authentication + LDAP search for Require ldap-group). It takes pwauth even 10 seconds to authenticate. Whet it comes to svn's externals it could take as long as 9 minutes to _svn up_ project (when there are no commits to fetch). Every external may take even 15 seconds (and sometimes even more). SSSD was configured at first with authconfig / authconfig-tui. I was struggling with SSSD configuration but with no success. I'm not sure where to look (SSSD, apache?). How can i debug this issue? sssd.conf: [domain/default] autofs_provider = ldap cache_credentials = True krb5_realm = # ldap_search_base = ou=Main,o=company id_provider = ldap auth_provider = ldap chpass_provider = ldap ldap_uri = ldap://ldap.our.domain/ ldap_group_search_base = ou=Group,ou=Main,o=company ldap_user_search_base = ou=People,ou=Main,o=company ldap_id_use_start_tls = False ldap_tls_cacertdir = /etc/openldap/cacerts ldap_tls_reqcert = allow #debug_level = 4 refresh_expired_interval = 120 enumerate = True ldap_referrals = False [sssd] services = nss, pam, autofs config_file_version = 2 domains = default [nss] homedir_substring = /home entry_cache_timeout = 5400 [pam] pam_id_timeout=20 apache: LDAPCacheTTL 30 <VirtualHost 10.0.32.19:80> ErrorLog logs/svn_http_error_log CustomLog logs/svn_http_access_log "%t %u %{SVN-ACTION}e" env=SVN-ACTION ServerName svn.our.domain DirectoryIndex none DefineExternalAuth pwauth pipe /usr/bin/pwauth #AddExternalGroup unixgroup /usr/sbin/unixgroup #SetExternalGroupMethod unixgroup environment <Location /> SVNPathAuthz off DAV svn SVNPath /home/repos/subversion_free_avr AuthBasicAuthoritative off AuthBasicProvider socache external AuthExternal pwauth AuthnCacheProvideFor external AuthType Basic AuthName "Subversion repository" AuthLDAPURL ldap://ldap.our.domain/ou=Main,o=company AuthLDAPGroupAttribute memberUid AuthLDAPGroupAttributeIsDN off Require ldap-group cn=programmers,ou=group,ou=main,o=company #GroupExternal unixgroup #Require group programmers #Require valid-user #AuthzSVNAccessFile /home/repos/svn.access </Location> </VirtualHost> On same server we have redmine (with database on separate server and LDAP auth) and git repositories (with gitbucket as frontend, also LDAP auth) but those repos aren't extensively used right now. Redmine works not-so-bad, so i guess it is not overall server performance issue. Disks performance (measured under normal workload): [root at luah pam.d]# hdparm -tT /dev/vda /dev/vda: (system) Timing cached reads: 11412 MB in 2.00 seconds = 5710.28 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 522 MB in 3.63 seconds = 143.79 MB/sec [root at luah pam.d]# hdparm -tT /dev/vdd /dev/vdd: (/home where all data resides) Timing cached reads: 10020 MB in 2.00 seconds = 5013.17 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 172 MB in 3.20 seconds = 53.73 MB/sec It's comparable with other our VMs. Any ideas? -- Over And Out MoonWolf
