 |  
| Hello- Im having a problem where local authentication will not work when when the configured LDAP server is unavailble.  When the ldap server is online I can authenticate fine against ldap and local file.  However, when the ldap server is offline, I cannot authenticate with the user1 account.  The browser just sits at a blank screen.
 
 Id appreciate any help you could provide.  Ive searched a lot on this and found many examples, all very similar to my config below, but I still cannot failback authentication to local file when ldap is unavailable.  Im running Apache/2.2.10.  I have also tested this on 2.2.16 with the same results.
 
 =======.htaccess==========================
 AuthName "Server Access"
 AuthType Basic
 AuthBasicProvider file ldap
 AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/htpasswd
 AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off
 AuthLDAPURL ldap://ldap.domain.com:389/OU=Users,DC=domain,DC=com?sAMAccountName
 AuthLDAPBindDN "domain\ldap_user"
 AuthLDAPBindPassword password
 AuthLDAPGroupAttributeIsDN off
 
 Require user user1
 Require ldap-attribute memberOf=CN=groupName,DC=domain,DC=com
 ===========================================
 
 Thanks.

| In worst case you could turn of the auth via AuthLDAPEnabled off |  |

| Maybe you can try to switch the providers, since the second one is the fall back 
 AuthBasicProvider ldap file
 
 
 Also you might add Satisfy any at the end of that config part so that only one of the providers must match / be correct.
