Last two days I have been getting LDAP connection errors. These errors prevent users from logging on. We have a number of other services that use LDAP, including our mail server and Phabricator, none of which have had a problem. The DC doesn't show any errors in Event Viewer. The issue seems to resolve itself after several hours or after I reboot the ownCloud machine. Is it possible for issues like this to be caused by high disk usage and slow mysql queries?
Not sure about steps to reproduce, because I'm not sure what the cause of the issue is.
Steps to reproduce
1. Get MySQL to use high CPU
2. Try logging in.
Expected behaviour
Tell us what should happen
LDAP should connect or provide more meaningful error messages.
Actual behaviour
Tell us what happens instead
LDAP won't connect and users can't login. Non-LDAP users can login.
