#5862 ipaldap.py: do_simple_bind() ignores timeout
Opened 7 years ago by stlaz. Modified 5 years ago

When trying to bind to an offline IPA server, do_simple_bind() hangs the process for a lot longer than the given timeout.

Steps to reproduce (example):

ipa-csreplica-manage list --host=offline.replica.xy -p dirman_password

Current result:[[BR]]
Hangs for 5+ minutes

Expected result:[[BR]]
Fail with "Timeout exceeded" after "DEFAULT_TIMEOUT" (10) seconds.

Possible cause:[[BR]]
ipapython/ipaldap.py: the connection attribute (conn) of LDAPClient class never receives timeout information. This makes the ldap actions on this connection last the default time of python-ldap library, which is usually much more than the timeout passed to do_simple_bind().


The cause is not known.

This ticket is out of scope of 4.4.0 release. Moving to 4.4.1. Note that 4.4.1 needs to be triaged, therefore not everything will be implemented.

Moving to next major version. Fixing this bug is not critical in stabilization release.

FreeIPA 4.7 has been released, moving to FreeIPA 4.7.1 milestone

FTR I can't reproduce this with an offline server. If I firewall port 636 I can reproduce it.

What is needed is a call like:

self.conn.set_option(ldap.OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT, 10.0)

The trickier part will be whether we want this as a default, how configurable, etc.
