hello everyone,

I have asked this question before but didn't get any suggestions, so please try to help me if you can. We recently had a event during which our radius server lost connectivity to our Active Directory server. all the network gear could contact radius so none fell back to the backup authentication method (local), but because AD was down we couldn't get into our devices. is there a way to use some locally stored password in free radius if the ldap server cant be reached? below is my user file config. i have an admin account that i would like to use if ldap is down, but don't want users to be able to use it when ldap is accessible. i'm running FreeRadius version 2.1.7.

admin           Huntgroup-Name == "network-admin", Cleartext-Password := "xxxxxxxxx"
                Service-Type := NAS-Prompt-User,
                cisco-avpair := "shell:priv-lvl=15"

DEFAULT         Huntgroup-Name == "network-admin", Ldap-Group == "networkadmins"
                Service-Type := NAS-Prompt-User,
                cisco-avpair := "shell:priv-lvl=15",
                Auth-Type := LDAP
