+ <para>
+ This parameter tells the LDAP library calls which timeout in seconds
+ they should honor during initial connection establishments to LDAP servers.
+ It is very useful in failover scenarios in particular. If one or more LDAP
+ servers are not reachable at all, we do not have to wait until TCP
+ timeouts are over. This feature must be supported by your LDAP library.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ This parameter is different from <smbconfoption name="ldap timeout"/>
+ which affects operations on LDAP servers using an existing connection
+ and not establishing an initial connection.
