Unix v2 connector timeout

Products

• CA Identity Suite

Issue/Introduction

We use etautil command to reset Unix account password.
We need to know the following:

1. When a Unix server is down and etautil command successfully executed, we observed that it takes some time for the error to be returned.
   How do we configure the timeout value?
2. Does IM Connector Server terminates a request when timeout is reached, or it's done by a Unix server?
3. If a Unix server was down, would IM Connector Server keep sending requests to a Unix server ? 

Environment

Release : 14.x

Component : Identity Minder(Identity Manager)

Resolution

1. When a Unix server is down and etautil command successfully executed, we observed that it takes some time for the error to be returned.
   How do we configure the timeout value?
   [Answer] 'Operation Timeout' attribute on a Unix v2 endpoint controls timeout when performing Unix objects modifications
   
   
2. Does IM Connector Server terminates a request when timeout is reached, or it's done by a Unix server?
   [Answer] Connector Server terminates the operation when timeout is reached.
   
   
3. If a Unix server was down, would IM Connector Server keep sending requests to a Unix server ? 
   [Answer] IM Connector Server has a resilience feature that allows to resend requests to endpoints when those requests fail.
   However Unix v2 connector does not have this feature enabled by default. We do not have any document explains whether Unix v2 connector can be configured for resilience.
