would like to set radiator up to try authenticating from AuthPLATYPUS and if
the SQL server is down then attempt authenticating from a flat users file, this
would allow my remote radius servers to authenticate if there was an sql server
failure or a leased-line was down. Is this possible and would there be a delay
on each auth if the sql server were down or would it get marked as down until
it came back up?
Using this config, it will try to contact the SQL server for each
authentication, but if it fails, it will fall through to a password file. Then,
next time it will try again to contact. If the SQL server is dowm Radiator will
find out very quickly (<1 second) so I would not expect a significant
performance loss.
