Connections or directory lookups to the LDAP Directory Server may be unable to complete due to a hanging or otherwise unavailable LDAP Server.
By setting CS_DS_TIMELIMIT, you can specify time limits on failed connections or lookups to the LDAP Directory Server. If CS_DS_TIMELIMIT is not set, the login timeout value is used as the default time limit for LDAP Directory Server lookups. For information on CS_DS_TIMELIMIT, refer to Table 2-29.
The retry option specifies the number of times to retry a search connection to the LDAP Directory Server after the initial attempt fails or times out. The delay option is the number of seconds to wait between a failed and new retry. Both options are set in libtcl.cfg and apply to the designated LDAP Directory Server only, for example:
[DIRECTORY] myldap=libsybdldap.so retry=3 delay=5 ldap://nlnognix/dc=sybase,dc=com????bind…
By default, both options are 0.
