Bugzilla – Bug 774
No LDAP SSL/StartTLS phase timeout available
Last modified: 2017-02-10 06:10:01 MST
Hi. I have a network issue related to MTU that causes big packets to not deliver. Besides other problems this lead to packet with ssl certificate to never reach the LDAP client which is seen as hung socket in connected state. Setting BIND_TIMEOUT helped for nslcd, but not for sudo-ldap. gdb tells that sudo-ldap sits in read() waiting to complete TLS handshake for the length of times. Despite we have a list of 8+ ldap servers this does not help for sudo and leads to host root account being inaccessible. As far as I understand the blocking socket read mode is used with no interrupt (signal, etc) to check timeouts.

Have you tried setting BIND_TIMELIMIT (not BIND_TIMEOUT)?
(In reply to Todd C Miller from comment #1) > Have you tried setting BIND_TIMELIMIT (not BIND_TIMEOUT)? Sure, specifying "BIND_TIMELIMIT 10" in /etc/sudo-ldap.conf (Ubuntu) does not help.
