Excepting DNS, is the latest release of OpenLDAP fully asynchronous-capable, even with TLS? Perusing the source code I can't find any obvious places other than DNS where things might block, but it's harder to prove the negative. I remember many years ago this wasn't the case, and I had to thread the connect phase, but the ChangeLog suggests that things have changed considerably.
Connect has been asynch for years, though an option to configure the connect timeout is a more recent addition.
The only significant thing left that I can think of that's still only synchronous is ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s(), and I have some plans to fix that.
