I opened a bug several weeks ago and have seen no traffic on it, and have posted to the user list twice with no answer, so I'll try here. I apologize for mis-posting if I have.
I opened a bug on this a couple of weeks ago, but it hasn't been touched. Maybe other folks have seen this behavior... I'm using the LDAP realm for AAA in my application. However, the LDAP server it connects to drops stale sessions after a pretty short time. Evidently, Tomcat tries to keep connections open so it doesn't have to connect later on. Unfortunately, this causes authentication failures because the host it wants to connect with is no longer there (er...the connection isn't, anyhow). After one failure, Tomcat drops the connection, the user tries again, and gets in. But 5 minutes later, the next user will have to try again. Here's the stack trace that get's logged: 2005-03-11 08:33:47 JNDIRealm[/iso]: Searching for billybob 2005-03-11 08:33:47 JNDIRealm[/iso]: base: ou=users,dc=mycompany,dc=com filter: (&(objectClass=appUser)(uid=billybob)) 2005-03-11 08:33:47 JNDIRealm[/iso]: Exception performing authentication javax.naming.CommunicationException: Request: 7 cancelled; remaining name 'ou=users,dc=mycompany,dc=com' at com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapRequest.getReplyBer(LdapRequest.java:60) at com.sun.jndi.ldap.Connection.readReply(Connection.java:405) at com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapClient.getSearchReply(LdapClient.java:611) at com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapClient.search(LdapClient.java:534) at com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx.doSearch(LdapCtx.java:1944) at com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx.searchAux(LdapCtx.java:1806) at com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx.c_search(LdapCtx.java:1731) at com.sun.jndi.toolkit.ctx.ComponentDirContext.p_search(ComponentDirContext.java:368) at com.sun.jndi.toolkit.ctx.PartialCompositeDirContext.search(PartialCompositeDirContext.java:338) at com.sun.jndi.toolkit.ctx.PartialCompositeDirContext.search(PartialCompositeDirContext.java:321) at javax.naming.directory.InitialDirContext.search(InitialDirContext.java:248) at org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm.getUserBySearch(JNDIRealm.java:1074) at org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm.getUser(JNDIRealm.java:967) at org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm.authenticate(JNDIRealm.java:916) at org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm.authenticate(JNDIRealm.java:809) at org.apache.catalina.authenticator.FormAuthenticator.authenticate(FormAuthenticator.java:235) at org.apache.catalina.authenticator.AuthenticatorBase.invoke(AuthenticatorBase.java:446) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:102) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:520) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:137) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:104) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:118) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:102) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:520) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:109) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveContext.java:104) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:520) at org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.invoke(ContainerBase.java:929) at org.apache.coyote.tomcat5.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:160) at org.apache.jk.server.JkCoyoteHandler.invoke(JkCoyoteHandler.java:300) at org.apache.jk.common.HandlerRequest.invoke(HandlerRequest.java:374) at org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket.invoke(ChannelSocket.java:743) at org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket.processConnection(ChannelSocket.java:675) at org.apache.jk.common.SocketConnection.runIt(ChannelSocket.java:866) at org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:684) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595) 2005-03-11 08:33:47 JNDIRealm[/iso]: Closing directory context Any magic undocumented setting that will work around this?
