Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a method and a system for determining whether to use a local authentication server. Specifically, a first network device executing a first authentication server receives a request for authentication from a client device. The first network device determines whether the client device was previously successfully authenticated by a second authentication server executing on a second network device within a particular period of time. If so, the first network device attempts to authenticate the client device using the first authentication server. Otherwise, the first network device declines the request for authentication from the client device.
