Hello,
Can anyone tell me whether OpenLDAP has provisions for a client to determine whether a connection has timed out proactively instead of alerting a user that the connection has been closed due to timeout only after they attempt an operation? If not then I'll know I will have to roll my own method of keeping the connection alive through a periodic query of some sort.
You might look at the persistent search function in my Stanford::Directory perl module:
http://www.stanford.edu/services/directory/clients/perl.html
which tests to see if the connection has closed, and if it has, reopens it, before performing a search.
