Opening and Closing Connections Between Directory Proxy Server and Backend LDAP Servers

At startup, Directory Proxy Server opens a connection to each data source that is configured, and enabled.

When an error is detected on a connection, Directory Proxy Server closes the connection and tries to reestablish it immediately. If Directory Proxy Server cannot connect to a data source, the data source is considered unavailable. For more information about how Directory Proxy Server responds to failed connections, see Responding to the Failure of a Data Source.
