fixed timeout settings related to failover

[Daniel Jung]

Hi,

Curious if following settings will be modifiable in upcoming release or
patches:

Check interval while using backup servers:
 If a backup server is selected, a timeout of 31 seconds is set.

Check interval of offline servers/services:
Further connection attempts are made to machines or services marked as
offline after a specified period of time; this is currently hard coded to
30 seconds.

Check interval from using offline:
If there are no more machines to try, the back end as a whole switches to
offline mode, and then attempts to reconnect every 30 seconds.

Thanks

This seems to be still hardcoded to 30 seconds (be_fo_get_options) but
feel free to file a ticket!

We reworked the offline detection a bit recently. See man sssd.conf of
recent releases, I hope the description of "offline_timeout" is helpful:
