Reopen Issue

389 slapd process isn't sending keepalive (I wasn't able to find any reference in the source code too) packets to the client if the client isn't capable to open the socket with SO_KEEPALIVE enabled (RHEL5 pam_ldap.so,linked against libldap-2.3*)

as far as I've understood (from ohter posts) one should use the 'IDLE Timeout' value instead ? is this correct or is the code missing the socket options ?

kind regards
Michael Lang

as seen in the tcpdump, the keepalive packets are not sent, instead the connection get's closed after the 'Idle Timeout' value.

$ telnet localhost 389

Is this a duplicate of Ticket #191, which was fixed in 389-ds-base-1.2.11?

As mentioned in comment#1 above, keepalive support was added in 389-ds-base-1.2.11. Closing this as a duplicate of ticket #191.
