Background - I'm using AD2008 with default MaxConnIdleTime of 900 secs.
My service asynchronously binds (ldap_simple_bind / ldap_result), and at various times issues asynchronous queries (ldap_search_ext / ldap_result). My cache is configured for 30 seconds (but I don't think it matters with respect to my questions).
- By the way, does anyone know of a way to query values for some of these attributes like MaxConnIdleTime or MaxActiveQueries? I can query the rootDSE and see which attributes are supported on the server, but I can't quite find info on how to query the actual values, if possible. Tips would be greatly appreciated! :)
My main questions regard LDAP_OPT_RECONNECT. When I've been idle for longer than MaxConnIdleTime, I get the expected LDAP_SERVER_DOWN from ldap_search_ext. I can always unbind/rebind and then query successfully. But, from reading Chapter 4 of the Mozilla LDAP C SDK Programmer's Guide ("Writing an LDAP Client"), what is the expected behavior of LDAP_OPT_RECONNECT?
I tried setting it (LDAP_OPT_ON) after calling ldap_init, but before calling ldap_simple_bind. When I hit the max idle time, each call to ldap_search_ext immediately returns LDAP_SERVER_DOWN. Isn't the library supposed to internally rebind for me? I didn't yet try running Wireshark to watch TCP activity, but can someone confirm what behavior I should expect in this situation? Will ldap_search_ext simply fail until successfully rebound? Just these basic questions.
Any info would be appreciated. I'm still trying a few different tests to better understand behavior.
