thanks for your comment, I've just added an issue under

If no connection pool was explicitly defined in the IdP's attribute
resolver, the IdP by default seems to keep an connection pool open only
if multiple LDAP queries are performed in a short timeframe. Maybe this
could be an option for vt-ldap, too.
