Re: Asynchronicity

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.
