Description
cannot cancel LDAP search operation via JNDI before the LDAP server sends the first batch of answers

The problem can be solved when changing the class com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtx, method c_search(Name name, String filter, SearchControls cons, Continuation cont), row 1747. This method invokes "searchAux" with a parameter called "WaitForReply". In the original code "waitForReply" is set to true. A JNDI property is in order to allow customer to change "WaitForReply" to false in their code.
Comments
EVALUATION The LDAP service provider implementation normally waits until the first reply from the server is received. The customer would like to be able to abandon a long-running search operation without having to wait for the first reply. A new boolean-valued JNDI property could be used to override the default behaviour. *** (#1 of 1): [ UNSAVED ] ###@###.###

SUGGESTED FIX Introduce a new string-valued boolean property: com.sun.jndi.ldap.search.waitForReply Its values are "true" (default) and "false" and it is only examined when an LDAP context is created.
