Re: [389-users] slapd didn't close connection and get into CLOSE_WAIT state

Hi Rich,

Thank you for your quick response!

I'll use the information you provided and file a bug on JNDI.

Do you think this "UnavailableCriticalExtension" is the cause of why connection not being closed successfully?

I am trying to figure out which end is the issue (Client or Server).  For testing purpose, I just downloaded OpenDS and installed it.  I ran the same test scenario for about 20 times, and I don't see any CLOSE_WAIT connection on the OpenDS process.

The problem will happen with any request - if the client sends any
request (except Unbind) to the server, and attaches a control that is
marked as CRITICAL, and the server does not support that control, the
server returns unavailableCriticalExtension.

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4511.txt - 4.1.11.  Controls
"Specifically, the criticality field is applied as follows:

  - If the server does not recognize the control type, determines that
    it is not appropriate for the operation, or is otherwise unwilling
    to perform the operation with the control, and if the criticality
    field is TRUE, the server MUST NOT perform the operation, and for
    operations that have a response message, it MUST return with the
    resultCode set to unavailableCriticalExtension."

So the problem here is that
1) JNDI is sending the Abandon request with a control not supported for
the Abandon operation and/or not supported by the server
- solution - change the Abandon request to send only controls supported
by the server (I'm not even sure why it is attempting to send a control
with Abandon)
2) JNDI is marking the control as CRITICAL
- solution - mark the control as non-critical
3) JNDI does not know how to handle this standard result in a more
graceful manner
- solution - catch unavailableCriticalExtension and resubmit the request
without the control or with the control marked non-critical
