Description
Currently PFSense does not remember LDAP or RADIUS authentication to the admin portal between requests. This results in a lookup for user information on every HTTP resource requested, which can get quite extensive on pages with many resources or auto-updating content like widgets.
This feature suggestion would have PFSense amended to cache the results of a lookup in $_SESSION, with a user-controlled expiry period for the cache time.
The suggested feature has been submitted in PR 3346

Works well for LDAP. RADIUS already caches the groups in $_SESSION so don't be surprised if you don't see re-auth requests on RADIUS.
