Public bug reported:
pam_ldap.so ignores the value of bind_timelimit from /etc/ldap.conf for
some bind operations. Rather it is hard coded to 10 seconds. From
pam_ldap.c:
2180 #endif /* HAVE_LDAP_SASL_BIND && LDAP_SASL_SIMPLE */
2181
2182 timeout.tv_sec = 10;
2183 timeout.tv_usec = 0;
2184 rc = ldap_result (session->ld, msgid, FALSE, &timeout, &result);
2185 if (rc == -1 || rc == 0)
The line 2182 should instead be:
2182 timeout.tv_sec = session->conf->bind_timelimit;
