Tune AM
This page covers key AM tuning strategies to ensure performant access and federation management, and to maximize throughput while minimizing response times.
| The recommendations provided here are guidelines for your testing rather than hard and fast rules for every situation. Said another way, the fact that a given setting is configurable implies that no one setting is right in all circumstances. The extent to which performance tuning advice applies depends to a large extent on your requirements, on your workload, and on what resources you have available. Test suggestions before rolling them out into production. | 
The suggestions in this page apply to AM deployments with the following characteristics:
- 
The deployment has a dedicated DS server for the Core Token Service. The host running this directory server is a high-end server with a large amount of memory and multiple CPUs. 
- 
The AM server is configured to use server-side sessions. 
The following table summarizes the high-level tasks required to tune an AM instance:
| Task | Resources | 
|---|---|
| Tune general AM settings | |
| Tune connectivity to LDAP data stores | |
| Tune the JVM where AM runs | |
| Tune the configuration and user cache |
