I am using RHEL 5.5 against an OpenLDAP server.
My setup has multiple LDAP servers
For using /etc/ldap.conf [nss_ldap-253-25.el5], I am totally bumped as to
what values to use for:
1. bind_timelimit
2. bind_policy soft/hard
The link:
http://old.nabble.com/No-timeout-for...d14576190.html
says that for multiple LDAP URI's , bind_policy soft will never fallback to
second LDAP server if first is down.
However I could see that it switches to second server(which was up) when
first one was down.
Is there something I am missing here ?
Also, with bind_policy hard, and all the servers down, I could see an
exponential sleep and then retry to connect to LDAP server
I thought bind_timelimit will be the governing parameter for this sleep
time, but no success
Any ideaz anyone ?
This is really urgent. Thanks in advance for all the help anyone can give
