[rt-users] RT develops sudden bouts of amnesia regarding logged-inusers

[Labonte, Phil]

My first guess would be to look at the LDAP logs... Is there anything
there? If LDAP is kicking your users off you will see it in there.

If it is not LDAP I would try but RT back to it's own form of
authentication to see if that works...

the problem is?

My 2c.

LDAP could bounce user only when you request for auth, RT request auth
only once when you enter login, then once per request to revalidate I
think.

I can't comment on other things I don't know how RT2.x works, but anyway
logs could help(apache, rt...)
