50c04f297d76a57ead2fa6b73845f7563b1fc788sf >RFC 1413</a>-compliant logging of the remote user name for each
50c04f297d76a57ead2fa6b73845f7563b1fc788sf connection, where the client machine runs identd or something similar.
50c04f297d76a57ead2fa6b73845f7563b1fc788sf This information is logged in the access log using the <code>%...l</code>
50c04f297d76a57ead2fa6b73845f7563b1fc788sf <a href="mod_log_config.html#formats">format string</a>.</p>
50c04f297d76a57ead2fa6b73845f7563b1fc788sf The information should not be trusted in any way except for
50c04f297d76a57ead2fa6b73845f7563b1fc788sf rudimentary usage tracking.
50c04f297d76a57ead2fa6b73845f7563b1fc788sf <p>Note that this can cause serious latency problems accessing
50c04f297d76a57ead2fa6b73845f7563b1fc788sf your server since every request requires one of these lookups
50c04f297d76a57ead2fa6b73845f7563b1fc788sf to be performed. When firewalls or proxy servers are involved,
50c04f297d76a57ead2fa6b73845f7563b1fc788sf each lookup might possibly fail and add a latency duration as
bed3c2e56e8f3328e780200466b9d009093db468sf >IdentityCheckTimeout</directive> directive to each hit. So in
50c04f297d76a57ead2fa6b73845f7563b1fc788sf general this is not very useful on public servers accessible from
50c04f297d76a57ead2fa6b73845f7563b1fc788sf the Internet.</p>

bed3c2e56e8f3328e780200466b9d009093db468sf <p>This directive specifies the timeout duration of an ident
50c04f297d76a57ead2fa6b73845f7563b1fc788sf request. The default value of 30 seconds is recommended by <a
50c04f297d76a57ead2fa6b73845f7563b1fc788sf href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1413.txt">RFC 1413</a>, mainly because
50c04f297d76a57ead2fa6b73845f7563b1fc788sf of possible network latency. However, you may want to adjust the
50c04f297d76a57ead2fa6b73845f7563b1fc788sf timeout value according to your local network speed.</p>
