Re: Facing issues with LDAP_X_OPT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT option.

Please read the posting I pointed to about PRLDAP_OPT_IO_MAX_TIMEOUT. 
That option allows you to limit how long the LDAP C SDK will block when 
doing I/O.  To use it you will need to use the prldap layer.  Another 
choice is to create your own I/O functions to handle these kinds of 
situations.
