That is definitely something we consider to be application-specific. Building the setting into your app is the correct solution.

In general, settings in the config file must always be overridable, so a new config option would also need to provide a new command line argument for the ldap* tools.

Otherwise, you might find yourself unable to ldapsearch a distant LDAP server because your timeout that you tuned for your local servers is too short...

But there is a default setting, the point is just that it's hard-coded. Having it system-configurable and user-configurable would not hurt, IMO
