startup of radiusd failed if one redundant ldap is missing

25 Apr 2019


      Hello 
I tried both statements redundant and redundant-load-balance for the two ldap servers in raddb.conf and everything works as expected if both are available at startup of the radiusd.  If ldap1 or ldap2 is missing, the server will not startup.  I have read the ldap module documentation but it seems not to be the place to configure this nor the redundat/load-balance statement does help here.
I'm very grateful for any help setting that up.
