radius authentication fallback from ldap to local

[Chowdhury Satish-NVF476]

Hi,
 
I am trying to configure fallback of radius server form ldap to local
file based authentication when the ldap server is not reachable.
 
 
I have a wireless client which needs to be authenticated by the radius
server on association. The wireless client uses EAP-PEAP authentication
and PEAP-GTC as inner protocol. The authentication works fine with LDAP
and Local files with separate configuration setting. However, I am
unable to configure for the fallback mechanism.
 
 
My freeradius version is 2.1.7. I did following modification for
fallback. 
 
Radiusd.conf
-------------
authorize {
         preprocessor
          .....
         passwd  
         
         ldap {
                  fail = 1
         }
         if(fail)
         {
               files
         }
}
 
 
eap.conf
---------
 
eap {
      ....
     gtc {
           Challange = "Password"
           auth_type = ldap
     }
      ....
}
 
users
--------
 
DEFAULT Auth-Type = Local
        Fall-Through = Yes
 
With above settings the LDAP authentication works fine. Then ldap is
disconnected the radius server fails to find ladp and fallback to file.
However in fail in eap with following error..

<<<---------
 
Complete log pasted here http://pastebin.com/PjDuvAvy. Packets 1-8 is
when ldap is connected. Ldap is diconnected from Packet 9 onwards. The
error is in Packet 17. The wireless client waits for Access-Accept.
 
 
Latter, I changed the eap.conf as below
eap {
      ....
     gtc {
           Challange = "Password"
           auth_type = Local
     }
      ....
}
 
With this configuration local fallback authentication works. However,
when ldap is connected the ldap authentication successful only if the
user credential is present in the password file.
 
 
How to solve it?. I am newbie to radius, please guide if I miss some
thing obvious.
