(RADIATOR) Ldap Issues

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello José -

Have you tried using "Fork" in the AuthBy clause? Why do you say it 
doesn't work?

I myself am not sure whether "Fork" will work or not, but you can do 
some testing to find out.

Alternatively you can use multiple instances of Radiator (possibly on 
multiple hosts) with a load balancer in front. You may find the AuthBy 
ROUNDROBIN/VOLUMEBALANCE/LOADBALANCE clauses useful for this. See 
section 6.43 in the Radiator 3.7.1 reference manual.

At the very least you should run one instance for authentication and 
another instance for accounting.

regards

Hugh

NB: have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
