I finally went from unpatched SRSS 2.0 to SRSS 3.1 (plus the patch that
comes with SRS4). Now some of my users are complaining about the extra
time it takes to login thanks to that 5 second disconnect between the
username and password prompts. Is there any way to disable this behavior
(note: our Sun Ray servers are stand-alone)? Thanks!

It sounds like you're using the Non-SmartCard Mobility feature.
There's no way today to shorten that interval.  It happens
because the password prompt is driven in a new Sun Ray
session by an entirely new Xserver and greeter client than the
Xserver and client that drove the username prompt.  The delay
is essentially the startup time for all of that new plumbing.

The password prompt is driven by the server where the user's
session lives (if it already exists) or will live (if a new session is
being created).  In a failover group that's typically not the same
server that drove the username prompt, so the implementation
has to be able to deal with running the username and password
greeters in separate sessions, and for the sake of simplicity we
always run them in separate sessions; we haven't attempted to
optimise the case where the password prompt happens to run
on the same server that just acquired the username.

Technically it's probably not very difficult to reduce the delay in
the special case of both prompts running on the same host.
Whether it happens will depend mostly on how many customers
ask for it.  Filing an RFE is always a good idea, it seems to be
more likely that other customers will hang additional call records
onto an existing RFE than it is that they'll open a fresh RFE that
(as far as Support knows) nobody has ever asked for before.
