This section provides a description of the client utilities. The client utilities use the ldap_sasl_bind or ldap_sasl_bind_s API. When bind is invoked, several results can be returned. Following are the bind results using various combinations of user IDs and passwords.
LDAP C-client utilities (ibmdirctl, ldapadd, ldapchangepwd, ldapcompare, ldapdelete, ldapexop, ldapmodify, ldapmodrdn, ldapsearch, and ldaptrace) internally use the connect() system call to connect to the specified socket on the target system. When an LDAP client attempts to connect to a system that is down, then the connect() system call exits only when the TCP/IP timeout is met. In such case, it might appear as though the LDAP client operation is in hung state. You can configure an LDAP client to return earlier than the system-wide TCP/IP timeout value, by running an LDAP client command with the -1 option along with the timeout value in seconds and microseconds.
