Environment

Novell Identity Manager 3.5.1
Novell Identity Manager Driver - LDAP

Situation

How does the LDAP driver handle binds to an application.

Resolution

The driver is designed to reuse the same connection for up to 500 operations, unless the connection is closed for some reason by the server. After 500 operations, the driver will close and reopen the connection (performing a bind again). This is to work around a memory leak in the java client libraries.
