Hi Petra,

you can install & configure memcached + php5-memcached, and add the following option into DAViCal config:

$c->memcache_servers = array('localhost,11211');


Note: DAViCal caches not only principals but also privileges, and due to bug in DAViCal you MUST restart memcached each time you change any principal privileges (otherwise the "old" cached privileges are used)

p.s.: instead of using memcached try to properly configure your OpenLDAP (there are a ton of caching options in "cn=config", e.g.: olcDbIDLcacheSize, olcDbConfig /set_cachesize/, ...), or install the current bug-free version of OpenLDAP on a separate Linux/Unix server

thank you very much, that helps a lot. But slapd is not reliable yet.

I checked this and this seems okay.

;-) It is not my decision.
Apple hasn't a newer version of slapd yet. The problem may be similar to
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4270550
php_ldap does not support persistent connections. So every query from
davical to the ldap server opens a connection, get information and closes
the connection.

In the meanwhile I installed http://mmonit.com/monit/ from Homebrew to monitor the memory usage of slapd.
If slapd seems to block the server, monit restarts the process.

But I will stay tuned.

Regards.
Petra Humann
