Manage LDAP connections as it was done in V5

Hello,

as indicated in TS014138520 there is a problem in APICONNECT v10 when connecting to LDAP.

APIC v10 is not managing the connections correctly, and there is a port exhaustion, even when there are only 55 concurrent clients calling LDAP as shown in the ticket in a test scenario.


Two things should be explored:

1) Why are the ports not being freed correctly? This seems like a bug in your connection management.

2) In v5 a pooling connection was used for the LDAP authorization. Why is this functionality not used in v10? Can this functionality be implemented in v10 for Authentication and Authorization as well?


The proposed workaround in the case was to implement a multiprotocol gateway that managed the connections using the pooling that was used in V5.


Thank you.
