(RADIATOR) Differentiating between user database problems and login failures

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Jason -

You should use multiple AuthBy clauses, like this:

# define Realms or Handlers

<Handler ....>
	AuthByPolicy ContinueUntilAccept
	<AuthBy LDAP2>
		.....
	</AuthBy>
	<AuthBy SQL>
		.....
	</AuthBy>
	.....
</Handler>


And you can use the AuthLog clause to log authentication successes 
and/or failures.

regards

Hugh
