SID-00494: Cap on the amount of user on my TWiki?

I am just trying to find out if, other than the load my host server can take, is there any limit on the amount of registered users I can have on my wiki?

Discussion and Answer

Is this related to the UserInfoPlugin? This plugin does not ship with TWiki, it is a separate install.

In case your question is related to the core TWiki: There is no physical limit on number of users. TWiki.org for example has 40K+ registered users.

If you are authenticating against an external directory your limit on number of users depends on how scalable the login manager module is. For example, the current LdapContrib module does not scale well beyond 20K users in LDAP since it caches all LDAP users locally, regarless of how many users access TWiki.
