#299 LDAP Provider using GSSAPI auth loses connection after 5 minutes
Closed: Fixed None Opened 14 years ago by sgallagh.

When configured to use GSSAPI Kerberos encryption, the LDAP provider requests a ticket for 300 seconds. When this time is up, the next time the LDAP provider attempts to make a request to the remote server, it is refused, receiving the error "Cannot contact LDAP server". This causes the request to fail and the domain to enter offline mode.

As discussed on IRC, when we receive this error, we should check whether our kerberos ticket is expired. If it is, we should kinit and retry before going offline.
