Hello,

When connecting over TLS to an LDAP server with high packet loss, my calls to ldap_sasl_bind_s() block forever some of the time despite have set a 10s limit on all of LDAP_OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT, LDAP_OPT_TIMEOUT and LDAP_OPT_TIMELIMIT.

I see the following stack trace on the deadlocked process.

Inspecting the source, I see that SSL_connect() is called from tlso_session_connect(). Does openldap attempt to pass timeout information to openssl?

Sorry for the vague bug report. The issue is non-deterministic so it is hard to provide too much information. Please let me know what I can do to be more helpful.

I was able to find an old posting (from 2006) reporting a similar issue. I'm uncertain if the root cause is the same or not though.

http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200601/msg00440.html

There is no API for setting a timeout in the TLS library.

Thanks for the pointer. Feel free to close this issue.
