We've had mounting problems with edirectory sso over the last few months. I would say ever since the 7.5 update which we did over Christmas break.
At first it was just a few users saying that they would get prompted for manual authentication then it slowly escalated to just about every user having experienced it at some point.
Tonight the whole thing went meltdown.
Messages in the AUA log - tons per second repeating over and over thousands of times and no one could authenticate:

We rebooted and at first it seemed to work but minutes later the same symptoms appeared. I tried entering a different LDAP server and the same symptoms occurred. The LDAP servers were both responding normally to other LDAP requests from our other systems.
I rebooted one last time with the 2nd server active and I am still getting the 'trying' message but it seems to have calmed down for now.
Its too bad because we had similar issues to these when we first started with Astaro a couple years ago and then they seemed to be fixed with 7.3 Now we're back to where we started.
Will probably open a ticket tomorrow but wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts.
