First LDAP connection failed then works...

[jmalghem2009]

Hello,

I have a strange problem with all my 5 WFA servers connected to Active Directory for authentication.

When a user try to log on for the first time since the browser was open, the authentication failed with the message : "The username or password is incorrect"

If the user retry one more time, the authentication works fine.

I have the same problem on different servers connected to different domains. All are Windows 2008 R2.

THe logon failure generates the following message on the server.log (nothing on wfa_ldap.log) :

2013-04-08 17:45:29,603 BST ERROR [org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.JBossWebRealm] (http-0.0.0.0-80-4) Error during authenticate
