We ran into this as well.
There is a timeout in Directory Services where it attempts to connect to AD to verify the user's locally cached password matches what is in AD. If the passwords do not match, the system will boot to the login screen instead of to the desktop. We are using the
command below to lower the timeout to 20 seconds.
sudo /usr/bin/defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow DSBindTimeout -int 20

Hello All,
It appears as though there’s a 30-45 second long timeout at boot for FileVault encrypted Macs booting with an AD account without network connectivity. I see this in that if I connect an Ethernet cable I get a 26 second boot and if I am disconnected I get a
boot about 70 seconds long.
I’m guessing it’s because the Mac is waiting for access to the DC to verify the credentials for logon. Does anyone know what specifically in /etc/pam.d I can change to boot from the cached credentials without the search and timeout? The systems are Mountain
Lion and Mavericks. Thanks.
Paul
