You're supposed to provide your version info at the *beginning* of the discussion. OpenLDAP 2.1 was obsoleted in 2004.
The LDAP_OPT_TIMEOUT setting will timeout any synchronous request, and has done so since early 2007 at least.... I cannot confirm this. Even when I use openldap 2.4.23 I can reproduce my DoS-scenario by starting a 'nc -l localhost -p 389' and performing an 'ldapsearch -l 5 -h localhost ...' which ends up in an unresponsive ldapsearch.
The "-l" option to ldapsearch sets the Search Request time limit, which is not the same as the API timeout that LDAP_OPT_TIMEOUT controls.
I finally ended up with a custom function which essentially does what I want, but I cannot figure outTo sum it up: any chance to get this upstream?No. The current code already works as desired.I don't see that.
You're looking at the wrong thing. -- -- Howard Chu CTO, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc/ Chief Architect, OpenLDAP http://www.openldap.org/project/
