LDAP authentication fails with concurrent create extensions

We are using postgresql 10.3 on Centos 7.2 with LDAP authentication (samba4 with AD domain controller). We've recently moved to LDAP authentication and are now encountering a problem where some concurrent connections that create extensions in different databases at the same time are failing with a "Can't contact LDAP server" error. The postgres error log contains:

========================================================================================

========================================================================================

The postgres version is "PostgreSQL 10.3 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-16), 64-bit" although we get similar failures with Postgres 9.5.9.

The problem is reproducible with this bash script and assumes the user password is in .pgpass:

I did some simple debugging into 'openldap' and could get this debug information about the failure:

errno 4 is EINTR and the function actually failing is 'poll' inside the os-ip.c function 'ldap_int_select'.

You really shouldn't be using LDAP in an AD environment for
authentication- configure and use Kerberos instead, which is much more
secure than having cleartext passwords seen by the PG server and then
proxied to the LDAP server.

That said, there does appear to be an issue here, thanks for creating a
test case.

Hi Stephen,

Do I need to raise this as an issue or bug?

Thanks,
Greg

It seems like we might need a patch on that adds ldap_set_option(ldap,
LDAP_OPT_RESTART, LDAP_OPT_ON) somewhere in auth.c to tell it to
restart on EINTR.

I'm a bit confused about that; how are you supposed to do that early
enough to cover all its syscalls if you don't have the handle until
after you've connected?  Perhaps CheckLDAPAuth() (or higher up) should
be blocking signals instead, or at least SIGUSR1 (I guess that's what
you're receiving -- can you tell?)
