javax.naming.CommunicationException: Connection reset [Root exception is java.net.SocketException: Connection reset]; remaining name - ldap

Question

I am getting socket exception when I try to connect LDAP. Here is my sample code. I am seeing this issue in java 8. I never observed this issue in the earlier java versions.
public static DirContext getDirectoryContext() throws NamingException {
Properties env = new Properties();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
Common.getProperty("ldap.context.factory"));
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,
Common.getProperty("ldap.provider.url"));
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION,
Common.getProperty("ldap.security.authentication"));
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,
Common.getProperty("ldap.security.principal"));
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS,
Common.getProperty("ldap.security.credential"));
context = new InitialDirContext(env);
log.debug("NamingContext Initialized");
return context;
}
context = getDirectoryContext();
I am using the same context for all LDAP calls.
private NamingEnumeration getResultsFromLdap(String searchFilter) {
NamingEnumeration results = null;
try {
// Getting the list from LDAP matching the given filter
SearchControls sControls = new SearchControls();
sControls.setSearchScope(SearchControls.SUBTREE_SCOPE);
String baseContext = Common.getProperty("ldap.base.context");
results = context.search(baseContext, searchFilter, sControls);
} catch (Exception e) {
log.error("EXCEPTION IN getLDAPConnection METHOD, searchFilter : "
+ searchFilter + " : Exception Message : " + e.getMessage());
}
return results;
} // End of getLDAPConnection_SearchResults
Can someone help?
