connection.max-age-time-millis After this much time in milliseconds, recreate the polled connection
connection-pool.health-check.on-checkout.enabled Select whether to perform a connection health check when checking it out from the pool
connection-pool.health-check.interval-millis How often connections in pool are checked. Not used when connection-pool.health-check.on-checkout.enabled=true

Note

In most cases, periodic health checks with connection-pool.health-check.interval-millis and connection.max-age-time-millis are sufficient. If there are severe network issues, setting connection-pool.health-check.on-checkout.enabled=true can help, but can result in the LDAP operation performance decreasing by 20-30%.
