I've always just trapped for the disconnect at the operation,
this is also a convenient place to check for referrals.
# XXX Check for I/O Error on update, reconnect and
# XXX retry if possible. This could be much more sophisticated.
$ldap = ldap_open($ldap) and $result = $entry->update($ldap)
if $result->code == LDAP_OPERATIONS_ERROR and
$result->error =~ m!I/O Error!i;
ldap_open is the same function I use to open an LDAP server
normally. When passed an existing LDAP object it will attempt
to shut it down as cleanly as possible. I haven't tested this code
in a while, $result->error =~ m!I/O Error!i may not be correct
since the latest updates to Net::LDAP.
sub ldap_open
{
my $ldap = shift;
...
if ($ldap)
{
warn "\nConnection to ", $ldap->{net_ldap_host},
" broken, attempting to reconnect.\n"
if $opt_v;
# XXX Try to close the socket as best we can.
close $ldap->{net_ldap_socket};
foreach my $server (split(/\s+/, $ldap_opt{'host'}))
{
($server, my $port) = split(/:/, $server, 2);
$port = $ldap_opt{'port'} if ! $port;
last if lc $server eq lc $ldap->{net_ldap_host};
push @servers, shift @servers;
}
}
The remainder of the code builds a connection to the LDAP server as usual
returning it's object to the c
