Re: Asynchronicity

[Shankar Anand R <shankaranand@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Is there any workaround way by which we will be able to do a DIGEST-MD5 - SASL LDAP bind asynchronously?

Howard: Is there a plan to have an asynchronous ldap_sasl_interactive_bind in the near future? Any time lines for that?

Thanks,
Shankar

Excepting DNS, is the latest release of OpenLDAP fully asynchronous-capable,

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.
