Thank you. This is misprint. Should be “Sets the channel binding type”
About timeout - Yes. It is required. Otherwise, LdapClient does not wait for TLS handshake completion and we can not get TLS server certificate before Channel Binding data is populated.
Actually, we can force to wait for handshake completion but what timeout should be set in this case.
As mentioned by Danial, information about new property and timeout should be documented in the release notes.
For the TlsChannelBindingType.TLS_SERVER_END_POINT_COMPAT type name, I do not think it is good approach. If you think different servers could accept different address types for the same Channel Binding type, It would be better to introduce separate boolean compatibility property like “com.sun.security.sasl.addrtype.compat”. In this case it would be applied not only for tls-server-end-point but for any provided Channel Bindings

I ve tried to fix inconsistency of address type value in the latest webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~abakhtin/8245527/webrev.v2/
