We have recently discovered that our log files are being overwhelmed by what appears to be a constant loop of Active Directory requests, repeating every 90 seconds in the following format:

```auto
INFO | jvm 1 | 2015/04/20 12:17:48 | Loading CN=...,OU=...,OU=...,etc
```

These Active Directory log entries seem to be the only thing present in all 5 of our previous log wrappers, which are filling up every 2 hours or so. The gateway console is showing what appear to be normal log entries, but these do not show up on the wrapper files.

We noticed this behavior last week, and were able to stop it (however temporarily) by adjusting the “Cache Validation Timeout” setting on the Gateway from 60,000 to 600,000, and back again. Noticed the problem again this morning and was able to repeat the fix.

Any help on this issue would be appreciated. Running Ignition v7.7.2.

Unfortunately, we are still seeing this issue.

Bueller?

It appears this was fixed is 7.7.3.

Sorry for the delay in response.
