ldap-search Timeout Setting

The ldap-search XSLT function timeout value is in seconds and not milliseconds. We would like to be able to specify milliseconds for the timeout.

Statement example (existing):
dp:ldap-search(address, port, bindDN, bindPassword, targetDN, attributeName, filter, scope, sslProxyProfile, ldapLBGroup, ldapVersion, ldapReadTimeout)

    I feel like this change request hasn't even been read by IBM. The requirement here is to have the call timeout in LESS than a second, or perhaps 1.5 or 2.5 seconds, and not in multiples of a second. The page linked to is the API details for LDAP search. The parameter clearly specifies a timeout has to be provided in SECONDS. What if I want to 'timeout' the LDAP search if it takes longer than half a second (500 milliseconds) or 250 milliseconds? Then clearly I can't use Datapower to meet my SLA, because the smallest timeout I can provide for the LDAP search step is 1 seconds (1000 milliseconds). How can this problem be explained any clearer?

    You can use the combination of LDAP Read Timeout and Idle Timeout to handle connectivity, see https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SS9H2Y_7.6.0/com.ibm.dp.doc/ldap-search_cryptographicfunction.html
