Tried using (newer) web browsers under Mac OS X and no apparent Read/Transmitting persistence is noted. So perhaps "the issue" is browser specific (either OS or version). It would be nice to have a reliable way to track this down with more specifics. Web browser console/error/debug windows don't help. Packet capture mechanisms don't help, of course. Application log files don't show anything, of course. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Apache-2.2 with LDAP authentication keeps spinning after authentication completes Date: Tue, 03 May 2016 16:46:30 -0500 From: J.D. <randomnoise058@xxxxxxxxx> To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Another interesting observation: web browser (Firefox) continues to show activity spinner and "read <hostname>" status (with AuthLDAP active at web application initiation) even after the LDAP authentication is completed, the OpenLDAP server is stopped, and the LDAP network connection is dropped. I can't see activity status with the Opera browser, but the LDAP network connection remains ESTABLISHED after terminating that web browser. This appears to be an Apache(2.2) issue. Nothing in the Apache (HTTPD) log files.
