Bug ID: 9197
Summary: slapd-ldap/slapo-chain hits error 80 after idletimeout
Product: OpenLDAP
Version: 2.5
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: ---
Component: backends
Assignee: bugs(a)openldap.org
Reporter: quanah(a)openldap.org
Target Milestone: ---
From a customer:
In order to communicate via the LB managed writable ldap, we have to ensure
that an idle connection is periodically refreshed. If we do not, the LB will
silently drop the connection after 5 minutes.
Therefore to combat that I set an olcIdleTimeout on the writable server so that
the chain cached connections will be removed before the LB timeout hits.
However the slapo-ldap client goes into CLOSE_WAIT state, which causes
subsequent ldapmodify updates being brokered by the read only instance to fail
with err=80. There appear to be a few bugs filed on this in the past against
slapd-ldap, but it's not clear if we may be hitting the same issue, or if this
is a new one.
I've also connected the read only instances directly to the writable ldap
instances and the CLOSE_WAIT issue persists, so I don't believe the CLOSE_WAIT
issue is caused by the LB
These were the other threads I found as I started looking for this problem,
these are using the ldap-proxy though I think:

https://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-bugs/200412/msg00029.html
The LB we have seems to be set to forget connections that last over 5 min per
the setting, so the 240:10:30 seemed like it should have worked and I just
thought it wasn't working because in the man page the text "Only some systems
support the customization of these values" is present. however after setting
keepalive to 60:10:30 did I maintain a stable connection, so there may be other
network settings at play I'm not aware of.
