Thanks for the report. Note that if you simply set a "timeout" with no specific qualifiers, it would have worked for you as well.

Oh dear. Of course. And it says so cleary on the man page, too. Thank you!

At this point, the "extended" timeout was meant for the other exops that back-ldap supports, e.g. whoami and passwordModify. Since 2.4 is feature frozen we are not going to implement the extended timeout feature here.

Instead, I've changed the start_tls code to use the "bind" timeout, since it will always be used as part of a bind operation anyway.

OK, thanks a lot!
