Public bug reported:

Description:	Ubuntu 13.10
Release:	13.10

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Implement ldpap server behind firewall (connectable behind vpn)
2. Implement cached enabled ldap client on a laptop
3. Start up the laptop and let it autoconnect [prior to login] to a previously known vlan outide the vpn
4. Login to gnome with a ldap user that has successfully logged-in in the past

EXPECTED RESULT:
Logged in with cached in credentials

ACTUAL RESULT (one of the following)
* Long time then black screen (powercycle needed)
* Long time then back to login
* Text authentication error 

WORKAROUND
I have a local user, log in with that user and connect to vpn, log out and then login with my ldap user.

NOTE
- In step 4 above it is possible to login in to tty1 with the expected result, so I know my ldap client/server and the caching have been set up correctly. 
- It is possible to login to gnome if laptop has not connected to a wlan (for example if there is no known wlan around), then the expected result happens after point 4.
- I think that gnome tries to connect to the ldap, and while it is online it tries that forever and never goes on to the cached-in-credentials as it should.
