Interesting case of slow login

Yong Huang

The login that eventually succeeds or times out uses the correct password. The login by the app server uses the incorrect password. If I remember right, the app servers generated many records with error 1017 at a high frequency, suggesting that if the client uses a wrong password, it gets the error immediately, but if the client uses the correct password, it takes a long time (and eventually logs in or times out).
