Symptoms are error messages:

The problem is caused by settting the BDII_USER variable in
site-info.def, which causes incorrect permission settings on some files slapd uses.
This variable '''should not''' be set at SE nodes, it's intended for BDII node only.

VOMS server fails with high number of VOs

VOMS server of gLite 3.2 is more memory greedy, it starts failing when configured to serve more than 10 (approx.) VOs.

Change -XX:MaxPermSize parameter of CATALINA_OPTS to the value of at least 512m in /etc/tomcat5/tomcat5.conf

 CATALINA_OPTS="-Xmx1508M -server -Dsun.net.client.defaultReadTimeout=240000 -XX:MaxPermSize=512m"

and add

 * soft nofile 2048
 * hard nofile 2048

into /etc/security/limits.conf.

BDII does not start at SE node

BDII daemon does not start correctly at SE node, yielding the service not to be published to GOC, etc. Symptoms are error messages:

  # service ldap restart
  Stopping slapd: [ OK ]
  Checking configuration files for slapd: bdb_db_open: Warning - No
  DB_CONFIG file found in directory /var/lib/ldap: (2)
  Expect poor performance for suffix dc=my-domain,dc=com.
  config file testing succeeded
  [ OK ]
  Starting slapd: [ OK ]

The problem is caused by settting the BDII_USER variable in site-info.def, which causes incorrect permission settings on some files slapd uses. This variable should not be set at SE nodes, it's intended for BDII node only.
