Issue ID: 9321 Summary: ldapsearch nettimeout doesn't work with startTls when the server address is not reachable Product: OpenLDAP Version: 2.5 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: client tools Assignee: bugs@openldap.org Reporter: allen.zhang@audiocodes.com Target Milestone: ---

We found that ldapsearch doesn't return with failure according to the nettimeout when the server address is not valid. it fails only after TCP timeout (about 120 seconds in my environment). we dug into in to the source code and found that : in common.c, we set the nettimeout after ldap_start_tls_s is called. We tried to call "ldap_set_option( ld, LDAP_OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT, (void *) &nettimeout )" before ldap_start_tls_s and it works well!
