Wouldn't this prevent the users from authenticate at all when VPN is  
down? Most of the time they can authenticate, but sometimes are  
rejected in a batch and then can authenticate again

I am not the domain admin. All the campuses have the same AD server  
configuration as mine, the main campus IT staff gave us these servers  
already configured and we can't even login in them.

A thing to mention is that other campuses uses NPS or ISE as NAC and  
don't have this problem when VPN is down.

My campus is the only one using freeradius, that's why I thought that  
this could be a configuration error in my freeradius.

Thanks.
