Hello,

I incorporated a subtree in our LDAP tree by reference. This subtree is offered by two servers. That's why I set the uri parameter to ldap1 and ldap2. If one of these servers is down, searches take very long (>10 min). The manpage says:

"The URI list is space- or comma-separated. Whenever the server that responds is not the first one in the list, the list is rearranged and the responsive server is moved to the head, so that it will be first contacted the next time a connection needs be created."

Have I missed something here or is there a timeout value to be set?

This is our configuration for that part:

# ---------------------------------------------------------- # --- Specific Backend Directives for ldap ----------------- # ---------------------------------------------------------- backend ldap

# ---------------------------------------------------------- # --- Specific Directives for database ldap (babylon) ------ # ---------------------------------------------------------- database ldap

# --- The base of your directory suffix "dc=subtree,dc=xyz,dc=de" uri "ldap://ldap1.xyz.de ldap://ldap2.xyz.de"

# --- Save the time that the entry gets modified lastmod off

# --- Specify that the current backend database is a subordinate subordinate
