Sam Ruby resolved WHIMSY-45.
----------------------------
    Resolution: Fixed
      Assignee: Sam Ruby

I believe that this is now fixed; please reopen if you see again.

Explanation: much to my surprise, intermittent LDAP errors are a routine occurrence, and the previous whimsy ldap library would map such errors to empty results and then cache those results until the server was restarted.  Now there is proper failover logic to try with another server, and cached results are subject to garbage collection in a way that guarantees that the results will be consistent throughout a single request but will be reclaimed quickly between requests.  Finally, server processes themselves are stopped when idle and restarted when needed.

> I was sent an email with the subject: "ASF Board Report for December 2015 is now due"
> In it, it said:
> {quote}
> Reports can also be posted using the online agenda tool:
>   https://whimsy.apache.org/board/agenda/2015-12-16/Cordova
> {quote}
> Clicking on that link popped up a basic auth window in Chrome, where the realm was "ASF Committers". I logged in using my ASF credentials and they were rejected -- this time another basic auth window with the realm "ASF Members and Officers" came up, I logged in again using the same credentials, and they were rejected again.
> I fall into all 3 - I am a Committer, Member and Officer (VP of Cordova).
> (I used svn to submit my report anyway)
