Hello all,

Does anyone know if it is possible to handle the errors of an unreachable LDAP 
server vs not capable to bind differently within radiator? If so, please advise.

For an access service we use the bind feature to let the LDAP server check the 
password for that specific user object, and then retrieve the required 
attributes. But when the username/password combination is wrong the result is 
IGNORE and hence another authentication attempt is done towards the second LDAP 
server (which of course also results in a non-successful bind attempt).

Perhaps a non-successful bind operations bind should result in a REJECT instead 
of a IGNORE?
