If LDAP is offline, how can I authenticate using the database?

When trying to authenticate and the user cannot be found or the LDAP is offline, how to authenticate with the user registered in the database?

Hi @wpsouto,

For this functionality you can use fallback authentication which involves adding a fallback array inside of the credentials sent through Auth::attempt(). These credentials get passed to the standard Laravel Eloquent authentication driver (notice the mail and the email array keys are different):

Auth::attempt([
    'mail' => $request->email,
    'password' => $request->password,
    'fallback' => [
        'email' => $request->email,
        'password' => $request->password,
    ],
]);
