Question about timeout and XAUTH.

[Martin Gadbois <martin.gadbois@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello!

While waiting for the user to enter a password when the edge device sent
ATTR(NAME="", PASSWORD=""), what should be the timeout requirement to
wait for a valid answer?

Resending packets after 10 seconds leads for the movianVPN and PGPnet
clients to re-ask several times the password, once per retry.
I suggest to specify explicitly a mechanism to differentiate between
retries and a new exchange, possibly based on the Attribute Payload
Identifier. ( If Identifier == previous, this is a retry. Drop if
waiting for user to enter password)

Regards,
