Probably a simple question, but I've Googled it and I can't find the answer.
Is it possible to wrap an ntlm_auth backend in rlm_cache? Our active directory is frequently quite slow. If we were able to grab at least some of these authentications from the cache I think it would help a lot.
I don't know exactly what data is returned from NTLM, is it cacheable or does it have to be fresh each time? By the fact that I haven't found any mention of anyone doing this, I suspect it's probably not possible.
For PAP yes, for MSCHAPv2 no (challenge/response). -Arran Arran Cudbard-Bell <a.cudbardb@freeradius.org> FreeRADIUS Development Team
