Hello list, I'm using a sql database for authorization and ldap for authentication. For fail-over reasons I want to authenticate against user-password information stored in my sql database if my ldap servers are not available (all ldap modules return fail). For authentication I configured: Auth-Type LDAP { redundant-load-balance { ldap1 ldap2 ldap3 } if(fail) { pap } } So I set the network interfaces of my ldap servers manually to down and startet testing. But the timeouts for every ldap module are too big (circa 50 seconds). I noticed the timeout directives in the ldap module. In all three ldap modules the net_timeout is set to "1". Question 1: How can I reduce these timeouts? Question 2: Can I check earlier my ldap servers are available and if not skip Auth-Type LDAP or setting Auth-Type to PAP? Question 3: Are there any other opportunities to do Auth-Type PAP if Auth-Type LDAP fails? Thanks in advance, Tobias Hachmer
