Intermittent errors with "ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1)"

[johanneskastl]

I tried to use the ApacheDS in a demo setup, but for $REASON the deployment fails with lots of errors.

2023-11-17 14:54:19 INFO  LdifReader:1704 - MSG_13413_NO_VERSION_ASSUMING_1 ()

ldap_sasl_bind(SIMPLE): Can't contact LDAP server (-1)
Backgroung job number: 2

The Can't contact LDAP server (-1) is from when the startup script tries to modify the admin password.

Is there any way to get a little more debugging out of ApacheDS? Should errors like this be caught? Or a safeguard added to wait until the server is fully available?
