"When an LDAP request is made by a client to a server and the server does not respond for some reason, the client waits forever for the server to respond until the TCP timeouts. On the client-side what the user experiences is esentially a process hang. In order to control the LDAP request in a timely manner, a read timeout can be configured for the Sun JNDI/LDAP Service Provider since Java SE 6."
