hey mailinglist, I have a little prob. with the first login via the radiusserver, it looks like this MS-Active directory -- freeradius 1.1.2 -- cisco or enterasys switch If I restart the radiusd the first try for a login needs about 20 seconds: [root@Xradius ~]# time echo "User-Name = mmessner, User-Password = m1k3" | radclient -c1 -s 127.0.0.1:1645 auth testing123 Received response ID 106, code 2, length = 71 Tunnel-Type:1 = VLAN Tunnel-Medium-Type:1 = IEEE-802 Tunnel-Private-Group-Id:1 = "1" Reply-Message = "Welcome mmessner in the - Domain" radclient: received response to request we did not send. Total approved auths: 1 Total denied auths: 0 Total lost auths: 0 real 0m20.285s user 0m0.072s sys 0m0.013s after this time everything goes fast, also the next login attempts! freeradius hangs for this time with the message: radius_xlat: 'CN=Users,DC=isalab,DC=local' radius_xlat: 'sAMAccountName=mmessner' rlm_ldap: ldap_get_conn: Checking Id: 0 rlm_ldap: ldap_get_conn: Got Id: 0 rlm_ldap: attempting LDAP reconnection rlm_ldap: (re)connect to labad01:389, authentication 0 If I sniff the packets on the AD-server in this time there are no LDAP requests. any ideas?!? thanks mIke
