Reopen Issue

If slapd crashes during Dogtag installation (see https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/47966), the installation process may get stuck in an infinite loop. There should be a timeout or max number of attempts so that in such condition pkispawn will eventually terminate and report an error.

In ConfigurationUtils.populateVLVIndexes() if the LDAP connection fails it will never exit the loop:

boolean taskComplete = false;
...
do {
    try {
        task = conn.read(wait_dn, (String[]) null);
        ...
        taskComplete = true;
        ...
    } catch (Exception le) {
        CMS.debug("Still checking wait_dn '" + wait_dn + "' (" + le.toString() + ")");
    }
} while (!taskComplete);

When that happens Dogtag will repeat the operation indefinitely. Here's the debug log:

...
[26/Nov/2014:01:40:18][http-bio-8443-exec-3]: Still checking wait_dn 'cn=index1160589769, cn=index, cn=tasks, cn=config' (netscape.ldap.LDAPException: failed to connect to server ldap://vm-064.idm.lab.bos.redhat.com:389 (91))

Proposed milestone: 10.2.x

Per Dogtag 10.2.X meeting of 01/14/2015: Milestone 10.2 Backlog

Per 10.2.3 TRIAGE meeting of 02/26/2015: 10.3

NOTE: Moved from 10.2 Backlog since it was not a documentation/man page issue.
