Following issue...
Two ACE Contexts -> Admin and Test
Both are configured to authenticate via AAA and Radius. Everything works as intended, roles get submitted by Radius etc.
If you configure a deadtime >0 and for example you stop the Radius Service the current ACE context detects the unavailable radius server and marks it as dead after retransmit and timeout values have expired. If you activate the radius service again the ace context never clears the "Radius Server=Dead" flag.
If you don't login while doing maintenance on you're radius service everything is fine, but once the deadtimer kicks in it's over.
I verified this behavior with using context Admin and context Test the same time. I ended up with one context working with the same server perfect and one still having it marked as dead.
I got some debug output and the config for both contexts.
Ahmed or Gilles can you reproduce this behavior?
EDIT: Reloading the module and setting the "deadtime 0" fixes the behavior.
