--------------------------------------------
Summary: The delay used in PasswordPolicy should not be
implemented as a Thread.sleep(delay)
Key: DIRSERVER-1825
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1825
Project: Directory ApacheDS
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0.0-M11
Reporter: Emmanuel Lecharny
Fix For: 2.0.0-RC1
When a delay is introduced after a bind failure, we currently do a
Thread.sleep() in the server on the session that was trying to bind. This is
absolutely wrong, as it may block the whole server after a few attempt from
few users (as we use only a limited number of threads).
We should instead forbid any attempt during the delay (that means even a
successful bind should fail), as the idea behind this delay is to forbid an
attack where someone submit as many bind as possible, until one is successful.
