Re: Cannot authentication locally when LDAP is unavailable

[Rob Yamry <ryamry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

error.log states:

[Thu Jan 09 10:22:36 2014] [warn] [client 10.9.2.49] [18090] auth_ldap authenticate: user user1 authentication failed; URI /index.php [User not found][No such object]

At this point the ldap server was offline.  Of course, that user only resides locally in the AuthUserFile.
