APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • This problem affects setups with more than one LDAP
    server configured in
    ldap.cfg. If the current LDAP server goes down, some
    pending LDAP
    request may keep trying to use that LDAP server even if
    it is already
    marked as being down. This may delay that requests
    significantly.
    

Local fix

  • no local fix possible
    

Problem summary

  • This problem affects setups with more than
    one LDAP server configured in ldap.cfg. If
    the current LDAP server goes down, some pending
    LDAP request may keep trying to use that LDAP
    server even if it is already marked as being down.
    This may delay that requests significantly.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The fix is to add a check for server statues in each loop in
    lockAnyHandle, so if the server is down, it would return right
    away without sticking to the same server
    

Temporary fix
