Slowness for services that use LDAP authentication

July 11, 2014 by Lars Rohrbach

We are currently seeing slowness in services that use LDAP authentication. This affects any services that prompt for LDAP login, such as our network registration forms, our Jabber server, and any EECS LDAP-authenticated websites.

UPDATE

[2014-07-12 08:17:15 | Lars Rohrbach]

The slowness in LDAP authentication turned out to be just one of the more noticeable symptoms of the real problem, which was that our border firewall CPU load was spiking again, causing occasional dropped packets.

The root cause was some planned network scanning for security research purposes. This scanning was halted, and all services returned to normal. Scanning will later resume, rate-limited to keep resultant firewall load manageable.
