#48998 long-lived unix socket
Closed: wontfix by spichugi. Opened by npmccallum.

Reopen Issue

In FreeIPA we have the following architecture:

Kerberos (UDP) > KDC > RADIUS (UNIX/stream) > ipa-otpd > LDAP (UNIX/stream) > dirsrv

The middle socket (RADIUS) is long-lived (no idle timeout). This allows us to reuse the connection for multiple UDP packets, increasing speed.

The last socket is also long-lived for the same reason. However, dirsrv routinely shuts down this socket after hitting the nsslapd-idletimeout. It would be nice to avoid this.

This socket is used for proxying authentications to an LDAP bind. Thus, although the process is able to autobind, it doesn't.

It would be very nice to find a way to exempt this socket from nsslapd-idletimeout.

Can you just use a nsIdleTimeout on the service account with a limit of -1? That should exempt it from c_idletimeout.

@npmccallum See my previous comment please, I think you can do this with nsIdleTimeout on the service account you bind as.

Metadata Update from @firstyear:
- Custom field reviewstatus reset (from new)

No, because the socket is used for binding.
