[RADIATOR] Radiator and LDAP2 to Active Directory

[Hugh Irvine]

Hi Steve -

You would set up two (or more) AuthBy LDAP2 clauses.

Something like this:


<Handler>

	AuthByPolicy ContinueUntilAccept

	<AuthBy LDAP2>
		….
	</AuthBy>

	<AuthBy LDAP2>
		….
	</AuthBy>

	….

</Handler>


The reference manual “doc/ref.pdf” has been reorganised, see sections 3.9.11 and 3.9.12.

regards

Hugh

Hugh responded saying to look at section 6.35.19 in the Radiator 3.9 manual and this no longer exists ☺ He mentioned a ‘Timeout” directive, which I tried (Timeout 0) to no effect, how would you reduce this backoff on ‘bad user’ to essentially 0? (or at least, less than 10 Mins each time someone types their password incorrectly) ?
