IIRC, this is the symptom we saw when our wireless controllers weren't returning all of the State attributes (see the thread from Neil at Iowa). For diagnosis, bump your Trace level up to 4 for a while, and observe the State attributes being sent and returned.

One note after implementing EAPBALANCE. I am getting this in the logs with a specific user at the moment.

Here is the config snippet I have included.

<AuthBy EAPBALANCE>
Log errorLogger
Log western_syslog
Identifier IVEY
Retries 3
RetryTimeout 5
FailureBackoffTime 20
AuthPort 1645
AcctPort 1646
Secret xxxxxxxxx
LocalAddress xxxxxx
<Host 129.100.160.144>
</Host>
<Host 129.100.160.97>
</Host>
<Host 129.100.160.133>
</Host>
</AuthBy>

My interpretation of these messages is that the server the EAPBALANCE is trying to send the authentication packets to does not respond in the appropriate amount of time, the EAPBALANCE Hash does not want to break the authentication stream, but never times out long enough to move to another server? Any input would be helpful. My thought is to lower the values for Retries etc.

Thanks for the suggestion.. this seems to alleviate the timeouts that I had noticed previously. (Log file was sent separately).

Hello Michael,

you mentioned campus and wireless LAN which makes me think there is EAP,
such as PEAP or TTLS, involved.

If so, you would need to use <AuthBy EAPBALANCE> to make sure the EAP
authentication sessions are always handled by the same IAS server.
Otherwise you will see failures and timeouts when the IAS servers
receive requests they are not expecting.

The Trace 4 log was not included, but I'd first check how it works with
EAPBALANCE.

Thanks,
Heikki
