ServiceUnavailableException with LDAP and JNDI

I am using JNDI to connect to LDAP and I need it to work with many simultaneous TCP connections. All connections need to be established at the same time. The mystery is that sometimes it works and sometimes it establishes just some connections e.g. 17 of 30. I saw similar problems by googling but nobody provided their solution. Thanks! Stack trace:

EDIT: some code

socket = new Socket(hostname, port);
is = socket.getInputStream();
os = socket.getOutputStream();
bif = new BufferedInputStream(is);
bof = new BufferedOutputStream(os);

env = new Hashtable<String, String>();
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, usr);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, pwd);
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
env.put(Context.REFERRAL,"follow");
env.put("java.naming.ldap.derefAliases", "never");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "ldap:// /*address*/);
try {
    ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);//ERROR
} catch (ServiceUnavailableException e1) {
    e1.printStackTrace();
    System.out.println("service unavailable");
}
Solution

  • Just to share that the problem was with limited file descriptors on ldap server and after raising the limit it works fine.
