Ldap searches don't seem to honour connect_timeout

[Franks Andy (IT Technical Architecture Manager)]

Hi Alan,
  Configure reports the below – is doesn’t say which it’s using afaics:.

=== configuring in src/modules/rlm_ldap (/home/andy/freeradius-server/src/modules/rlm_ldap)
checking for ldap_init in -lldap... yes
checking for ldap.h... yes
checking for ldap_sasl_interactive_bind... yes
checking for ldap_unbind_ext_s... yes

checking for ldap_is_ldap_url... yes
checking for ldap_url_desc2str... yes
checking whether ldap_create_session_tracking_control is declared... no
checking whether ldap_set_rebind_proc takes 3 arguments... 3

.. however I don’t have any nss specific named dev libraries installed, but do have
libldap2-dev:amd64
which apt-cache says is openldap :

Description-en: OpenLDAP development libraries
This package allows development of LDAP applications using the OpenLDAP
libraries. It includes headers, libraries and links to allow static and
dynamic linking.

.. so I guess it’s openldap.

Thanks
Andy

I've seen some ldap behaviour in similar vein but am currently side tracked by other issues - what I've seen is ldap working but then after some time ldap searches no longer working though the connection settings are to keep connections open and not close.

Firstly though, your ldap is compiled with openssl and not NSS, right?
