ldap_search_ext_s timeout

Hi All,

The LDAP directory services in our product uses ldap_search_ext_s for synchronous search. Now,my intension is to specify a timeout in this API,so that in case if the server does not respond within the timelimit,the operation should be terminated.

I tried specifying time out for the asyncronous search usign the API ldap_search_ext and it did not work.Adding timeout to ldap_result did timed out the operation!

So, I was wondering how I can make the synchronous search to timeout . Requesting your help on this.

Regards, Vasavi
