/usr/home/build/rs_105_63_3_RTM/usr.src/netscaler/aaad/naaad.c[2263]: send_reject_with_code Rejecting with error code 4003
Resolution
Increase the LDAP server timeout value on NetScaler.
Go to Authentication > LDAP > Server > Increase the timeout value more than the configured value.
Problem Cause
By default, LDAP timeout on NetScaler is 3 seconds. If the Backend LDAP server doesn't respond with either success or failure results within 3 secs, then NetScaler will timeout and fails the authentication.
The time out could be because of Network latency or backend LDAP server takes more time than the given timeout value to search for the user
Issue/Introduction
When user tries to authenticate against LDAP server , the authentication fails and in the aaad.debug log we could see the below error
