A titre d'exemple. Idéalement il faut gérer le timeout avec Ansible

Exemple de code Ansible

    - name: command ldap_search
      become: true
      ansible.builtin.command: |
        /usr/bin/timeout --kill-after=15 10 /usr/bin/ldapsearch -LLL -D cn={{ lookup('env', 'LDAP_USER') }} -b o=unixauth -y /root/.ansible/tmp-files/.ldap.txt uid={{ CDO_ACCOUNT_USER | quote }} dn
      changed_when: false
      check_mode: false
      register: ldapsearch
      environment:
        LANG: C
      failed_when:
        - ldapsearch.rc != 0       # OK
        - ldapsearch.rc != 124     # Timeout. SIGTERM
        - ldapsearch.rc != 137     # Timeout. SIGKILL

    - name: fail when timeout - SIGTERM
      fail:
        msg: "Error_Command_Timeout. Process arrêté par SIGTERM."
      when: ldapsearch.rc == 124

    - name: fail when timeout - SIGKILL
      fail:
        msg: "Error_Command_Timeout. Process arrêté par SIGKILL."
      when: ldapsearch.rc == 137

    - name: fail if ACME user
      fail:
        msg: |
          Error_ElementAlreadyUsed. Nom de compte utilisateur déjà utilisé par ACME {{ CDO_ACCOUNT_USER }}.
      when:
        - ldapsearch.stdout_lines |select('regex', '^dn:') |list is regex(',o=unixauth')
        - not allow_ldap_acme
