If authentication has failed:
check the setting for action on authentication failure; and
ensure it is not set to Block Traffic (unless that is the intended action).
If authentication has not failed:
check to see if traffic is now flowing.
If traffic is flowing then the authentication has been re-established and
the system is operating normally
If traffic is not flowing, the problem is not due to authentication.
