So what does first ldap section return when user is missling - fail or reject (I see you have access attribute configured there)? If it's reject you need unlang (ie 2.x).
Here is my output of radtest with a user on the second LDAP server. This server never gets quieried unless the first one is offline. I also made these changes to radiusd.conf after re-reading the configurable_failover document. I would appreciate some pointers because I am just not getting it. redundant { rhds_ldap notfound = 1 ok = return ad_ldap notfound = 1 ok = return } modcall: entering group authorize for request 0 modcall[authorize]: module "preprocess" returns ok for request 0 rlm_realm: No '@' in User-Name = "testuser", looking up realm NULL rlm_realm: No such realm "NULL" modcall[authorize]: module "suffix" returns noop for request 0 rlm_eap: No EAP-Message, not doing EAP modcall[authorize]: module "eap" returns noop for request 0 modcall: entering group redundant for request 0 rlm_ldap: - authorize rlm_ldap: performing user authorization for testuser radius_xlat: '(uid=testuser)' radius_xlat: 'dc=xx,dc=xx,dc=xx' rlm_ldap: ldap_get_conn: Checking Id: 0 rlm_ldap: ldap_get_conn: Got Id: 0 rlm_ldap: attempting LDAP reconnection rlm_ldap: (re)connect to xx.xx.com:389, authentication 0 rlm_ldap: bind as cn=ciscoap,ou=System,dc=xx,dc=xx,dc=xx/xxxx to xx.xx.com:389 rlm_ldap: waiting for bind result ... rlm_ldap: Bind was successful rlm_ldap: performing search in dc=xx,dc=xx,dc=xx, with filter (uid=testuser) rlm_ldap: object not found or got ambiguous search result rlm_ldap: search failed rlm_ldap: ldap_release_conn: Release Id: 0 modcall[authorize]: module "rhds_ldap" returns notfound for request 0 modcall: leaving group redundant (returns notfound) for request 0 users: Matched entry DEFAULT at line 153 users: Matched entry DEFAULT at line 216 modcall[authorize]: module "files" returns ok for request 0 rlm_pap: WARNING!
