[jira] [Commented] (DIRSTUDIO-1197) Connection Network check fails when using the LDAP API

["Emmanuel Lecharny (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-1197?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16682472#comment-16682472 ] 

Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRSTUDIO-1197:
----------------------------------------------

The failure is due to a change made in M14: the timeout is set when it wasn't in the previous version, except that the value is {{30}}, when it should be {{30000}}. Clearly, the fact that the timeout is in milliseconds instead of being in seconds is confusing. I do think we should always set it in seconds (it makes no sense to set it in sub-second fraction), even if we convert it to milliseconds internally.

Here is the root cause, in {{AbstractConnectionParameterPage.java}} :

{code:java}
    private Connection getTestConnection()
    {
        ConnectionParameter connectionParameter = new ConnectionParameter( null, getHostName(), getPort(),
            getEncyrptionMethod(),
            getNetworkProvider(), ConnectionParameter.AuthenticationMethod.NONE, null, null, null, true, null, 30 ); <<---- Here

        return new Connection( connectionParameter );
    }
{code}

I have no idea why this value has been introduced, and I can't find who did it (well, it does not really matter either, just wanted to get a bit of history).

> There is something fishy in the connection check...
