Idle Rebinding Options
The following two LDAPv3 plugin parameters aren’t documented in the open directory
administration guide. The parameters are in, or can be added to, the file
/library/preferences/directoryservice/DSLDAPv3PlugInConfig.plist.
Delay Rebind
This parameter specifies how long the LDAP plugin waits before attempting to
reconnect to a server that fails to respond. You can increase this value to prevent
continuous reconnect attempts.
<key>Delay Rebind Try in seconds<\key>
<integer>n<\integer>
You should find this parameter in the plist file near <key>OpenClose Timeout in
seconds<\key>

Idle Timeout
This parameter specifies how long the LDAP plugin will sit idle before disconnecting
from the server. You can adjust this value to reduce overloading of the server's
connections from remote clients.
<key>Idle Timeout in minutes<\key>
<integer>n<\integer>
If it doesn’t already exist in the plist file, you can add it near <key>OpenClose Timeout
in seconds<\key>
