Freeradius uses persistent ldap connection. There are many reasons for this.
But we have freeradius installed on server in dmz, and ldap-server in inside-zone. It is used just for vpn (1-2 times per day). Cisco PIX destroyes not used connections, so freeradius need to reconnect to ldap server. But freeradius detects lost connection for 5 minutes: Tue Dec 6 03:40:33 2005 : Error: rlm_ldap: ldap_search() failed: Timed out while waiting for server to respond. Please increase the timeout. Tue Dec 6 03:43:03 2005 : Error: rlm_ldap: ldap_search() failed: Timed out while waiting for server to respond. Please increase the timeout. Tue Dec 6 03:45:33 2005 : Error: rlm_ldap: ldap_search() failed: Timed out while waiting for server to respond. Please increase the timeout. Tue Dec 6 03:46:45 2005 : Error: rlm_ldap: ldap_search() failed: LDAP connection lost. Tue Dec 6 03:46:45 2005 : Info: rlm_ldap: Attempting reconnect How can I configure freeradius to reconnect to LDAP for each request?
