    Has anyone seen or heard of this condition before?

    If I am on the server where LSF is installed, and I attempt the URL:

    http:///sso/SSOServlet 

    I get the login page. I enter the correct ID and password (LSF is bound to AD).
    However the first time I attempt to log in, it does not work, and brings me back to the login page.

    The 2nd time, I enter the same login credentials, and voila it works. 

    Regular Portal login works on 1st attempt.

    This is win2008 on LSF 10.0.2

    I don't see anything in any of the LSF logs or on the server logs.

    If I am remoted into another server, and I try the same exact thing, the SSOServlet works fine and OK with no issue on the very first time.

      Roger,
      Yes. This is usually an issue with LDAPBind using a domain name / multihomed A-record (aka DNS 'group') as it's target authentication source, as opposed to a single server. Your issue is that one of the hosts is either not an AD forest controller, not enabled with the FSMO role of Global Catalog on at least one of the hosts.
