I want the radius server to authenticate users thanks to the "users" file even if the ldap directory is not reachable and the radius server to start even if the DB is not reachable
That's probably the way the server should work. Those issues probably weren't though of when the server was written, as the SQL module works the same way.
I tried with ldap { fail =1} in the authorize section and sql { fail = 1 } in the instantiate section without any success.
"fail" doen't seem to be know.
No, it doesn't work in the "instantiate" section. It could, though. It's a good idea, and one I hadn't thought of. An alternative would be to update the LDAP module to NOT bind at startup, and do it only when a request came in. That would help, too.
