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?

No future plan. It's in CVS as of October 13, so it's already in the past.

Great! Thanks for the information.

I understand that the openldap project does not follow strict release dates. But I see that there is an average of 3 months between 2.4.x and 2.4.x+1. Can you help me by giving an approximate date when 2.4.24 will be released (with this fix)?

Thanks,
Shankar

Excepting DNS, is the latest release of OpenLDAP fully

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.
