It sounds to me like your application is broken.  A well written LDAP
application will notice that its connection has been closed, and
rebind.


My application *does* notice when working with other directories and
prompts me to reconnect and when I click yes it works fine. I don't get
that prompt right now with openldap because nothing is being returned
from openldap to generate an exception. Maybe I am detecting the closed
connection incorrectly (relying on a java exception) but it works fine
with Sun and Active Directory because an exception is generated when
working with them.


Our various java applications, and numerous vendor and opensource
applications, have no issues with OpenLDAP and its idletimeout closing
connections, so I'm guessing it is something specific to what you are
doing.


Do you use JNDI to access OpenLDAP or the Novell API? I'm using JNDI
right now for everything except for accessing the schema and for that I
use the novell API.


We use JNDI for everything.
