$400 Bounty

Many of you have been experiencing login problems since Spring break. The problem appears to be non-trivial and ITAP has not been able to help. We are thus seeking you help. The first student who can fix the problem will get $400.

If you are a Purdue student and think you are up to the task, please contact the Rhea team (kiwi@ecn.purdue dot you know what) ASAP.


Details:

  • Zach Mason is currently looking into the problem but he does not see a quick fix. The idea is to be able to solve the problem before Zach does, hopefully before the end of next week.
  • Yes, we will tell you how many people are tackling the challenge so you can decide whether this is worth your time. But as of today Thursday April 1, 2010 1:52pm, nobody has shown interest yet.
  • Our server is running linux and we are using Purdue LDAP system for logins, in addition to local logins. Local logins seem to work fine; only the LDAP logins are hanging up.
  • Many people have been able to login, but for most people, the login process appears to just hang up. We have not seen any clear pattern yet.
  • No, this is NOT an April fool's joke.
  • Do you have any more questions, you can post them here (assuming you can login...).
