(RADIATOR) Perssitent ldap connections in AuthLDAP2

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Guðbjörn -

You can use the HoldServerConnection to keep the connection to the LDAP 
server persistent.

In our experience, some LDAP servers do not like persistent 
connections, so the default behaviour is to drop the connection after 
each access. If the LDAP server supports persistent connections you can 
use the HoldServerConnection parameter to enable it.

regards

Hugh
