Hi,

We are using campus LDAP server for our intranet login authentication.
The users login with their gatorLink id and password. One of our user
changed her password through myUfl.com. Now she needs to login to
myUfl.com with her new password, but login to our intranet with her
old
password. It's supposed that LDAP server should be synchronized with
the
myUfl directory server. But apparently it is not.

Recently the LDAP server was down frequently. I wonder if there is
another gatorLink authentication option which is more accountable.
