                 Key: SC-173
                 URL: https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/SC-173
             Project: Shibboleth Common - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Attribute Authority
    Affects Versions: 1.3.4
            Reporter: Chad La Joie
            Assignee: Chad La Joie
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 1.3.5


There are two pooling strategies for the LDAP data connector.  A no-op one, called LdapPoolEmptyStrategy, and one that actually performs pooling called LdapPoolVTStrategy.  The later implicitly checks that the LDAP server can be reached and so if the LDAP configuration is wrong it fails immediately.  The former however does not do this and so doesn't fail until its used.

Have LdapPoolEmptyStrategy check that it can reach the LDAP at startup time so that it fails in the same as the other pooling strategy if the configuration is wrong (or if the LDAP server is down).
