I know about the time limit on the search, but is there a user-specified

The LDAP_OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT option sets a timeout on the connect() call
itself. Its value is a struct timeval, so:
struct timeval tv;
int err;
tv.tv_sec = timeout_in_seconds;
tv.tv_usec = 0;
err = ldap_set_option(ld, LDAP_OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT, &tv);
if (err != LDAP_SUCCESS)
report_the_error(err);
Note that the OS's normal timeout for connection attempts acts as the
upper limit on the timeout: requesting a longer timeout will have no
effect.
The above option *ONLY* affects the connection attempt and nothing after
that.
