Resolution:
The nss_ldap component in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.7 will improve the reconnect behavior when binding to an LDAP server. Previous versions implemented "hard" reconnects, which attempt to reconnect at every initialization failure. The new version implements two new options, described below:
- "bind_policy hard_open". If "bind_policy hard" was used in 4.6, and if this configuration is left as-is after upgrading to 4.7, the policy will default to "bind_policy hard_open". The behavior is to ask to retry if the attempt to open a connection fails.
- "bind_policy hard_init". This is a new option for 4.7. The behavior is to retry if the LDAP initilization fails.
Both of the above options can be used in conjunction with "bind_timelimit" to set a maximum amount of time to be spent on the bind attempt.
Note: No changes have been made if "bind_policy soft" is used.
