When the Login Takes Time and the Login Results Vary for the Same User
It is likely to be caused by the high load to the LDAP server or the network. Basically, your
running environment requires to be checked and adjusted.
When the login takes too much time because the search scope of the LDAP server is too
large or the search scope contains too much entries, adjust [Search Directory Root] under
[Connectivity & Network Setup] > [Remote Authentication Server Settings] > [LDAP Server /
Directory Service Settings].
Setting the waiting time for the connection between the device and the LDAP server long
enough may avoid the login failure. But it is a temporary measure, because the login time is
not shortened.
The procedure to set the waiting time for the connection is as follows.
