#411 RFE: It should take much less time to detect online/offline status
Closed: Fixed Opened by dpal.

Closed: Fixed
Reopen Issue

Currently is sometimes takes up to 60 seconds to determine that the system is offline.

I usually see it with the case when the machine is connected to the enterprise network over VPN over the local wireless connection. From time to time VPN drops. When this happens while logged in but screen is locked the time to determine the offline status turns to long.

How to reproduce:
1) Log into local wireless network
2) Start VPN
3) Lock screen
4) VPN connection expires or breaks
5) Try to unlock the screen

Expected: Up to 10 sec delay

Actual: Up to 60 second delay

Note:
I suggest trying to connect for 2 sec to each of the fail over servers in the list.
2 seconds nowadays should be enough to establish connection. If the connection is not established in 2 seconds it is fair to assume that the server is unreachable for whatever reason.

We think this may be an issue with RHEL5's openldap and/or vpnc features, and not the SSSD. We will re-evaluate if this appears in newer OSes.
