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.
