Hi,

Since a long time (in servoy 7 and in servoy 8 as well) I have the behaviour in servoy developer that calling security.authenticate takes +/- 5 seconds each time to execute, not executing the actual method in authenticator, but really calling the method itself.  
My colleagues with the same codebase and db connections don’t have the problem.  
Any idea what can cause this?

Thanks  
Robrecht

Hi Robrecht,

have encountered this as well, but it has resolved itself as suddenly as it started.  
Not a clue what it could have been
