wcs/api/people with ?groups=true READ TIMEOUT

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi All,

I have an alfresco 5.0.d instance which is configured for external auth.  /share and alfresco both have external auth against CAS (using a specific Header) configured.  I am able to login to /share using the header that apache (using mod_auth_cas) passes on to /share after the CAS redirect.  Users are synced into alfresco from LDAP.

So authentication is good.  but getting the initial /share dashboard takes more than 2 minutes.  Once past the initial /share page regular operations are fine.

I've tracked down this slowness to a read timeout when /alfresco takes forever to reply to:

  http://127.0.0.1:8080/alfresco/wcs/api/people/[username]?groups=true

where [username] is a valid user in CAS.

When I login, that request goes by, and when it finally times out the dashboard appears.

When I curl that URL (with -H "[CAS-Header]:[username]" but without the ?groups=true (either no groups parameter at all, or with ?groups=false or even with ?groups=TRUE or ?groups=1, etc) then curl returns immediately with json information about the given user.

When I curl with ?groups=true it looks like I don't get any reply at all (I'll leave curl running overnight, see if it times out).  In a browser it fails with a read timeout and an exception in catalina.out.

Has anyone seen this or have a clue what bits of configuration are relevant?  What is special about groups=true?

Hi

We seem to be having the same issue - did you find out anything? We have one suspicion that it is because we have imported a lot of users - around 130,000.
