I guess that the very first time we create the connection, when asking for one

This is due to commons-pool logic where you can ask the pool to validate the
connection one way or the other. We are probably using
LookupLdapConnectionValidator for that purpose:
Hi Emmanuel,
It’s actually sending that dummy search every time, which of course isn’t good.
Here’s the code to create the pool:
```
// Create the Admin pool
adminPool = new LdapConnectionPool( poolFactory );
adminPool.setTestOnBorrow( true );
adminPool.setWhenExhaustedAction( GenericObjectPool.WHEN_EXHAUSTED_GROW );
adminPool.setMaxActive( max );
adminPool.setMinIdle( min );
adminPool.setMaxIdle( -1 );
adminPool.setTestWhileIdle( testWhileIdle );
adminPool.setTimeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis( timeBetweenEvictionRunMillis );
```
Notice that ‘setTestOnBorrow' being set to true.
Yes, I forgot to mention it. This is configurable.
When I flip that switch, the dummy search no longer occurs when connection is
retrieved, which is `good.
Wonder what we lose. Recovery from connections being timed out by server or
reset by intermediaries like routers?
Not that much. The gain is not enormous either, just a round trip. The
LDAP server is not under heavy strain with such a request, it's an
automatic answer. This is what you would use for a Health Check.
The risk not doing such a check is very very tenuous.
However, we have implemented it as commons-pool requires it to be
implemented. The question would be to know if we should make it a default.
