[RADIATOR] hook for detecting directory connection problems

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Barry -

You can control whether or not the AuthBy LDAP2 clause uses  
persistent connections or not with the "HoldServerConnection" parameter.

And you can control the Timeout and FailureBackoffTime with those  
parameters.

See sections 5.36.17, 5.36.19 and 5.36.20 in the Radiator 4.3.1  
reference manual ("doc/ref.pdf").

regards

Hugh

NB:

Have you read the reference manual ("doc/ref.html")?
Have you searched the mailing list archive (www.open.com.au/archives/ 
radiator)?
Have you had a quick look on Google (www.google.com)?
Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
Have you checked the RadiusExpert wiki:
