linux

Symptoms

Authentication takes 10-15+ seconds or times out with CACkey.

Likely cause

Older CACkey builds had performance regressions.

Fix

1. Update CACkey from http://cackey.rkeene.org/fossil/wiki?name=Downloads. 2. Uninstall the old version first. 3. If it is still slow, switch to OpenSC, which is generally faster.
