This section describes the new feature supported by ACAT 1.6.
Restrict Time Finding the Domain Controller
When using LEAP or EAP-FAST authentication, the final sequence in the authentication process is to
find the domain controller. In some systems this sequence can result in authentication delays. ACAT 1.6
supports a new LEAP and EAP-FAST configuration setting that enables an administrator to limit the
amount of time allowed to find the domain controller during the authentication process. Also, the
administrator has the option to configure the setting to entirely skip the check for the domain controller.
This new setting is the Restrict Time Finding the Domain Controller option located in the Timeout
Properties section of the LEAP and EAP-FAST configuration settings window.
