Auth Driver

Developing Locally without an LDAP connection

You can continue to develop and login to your application without a connection to your LDAP server in the following scenario:

• You have auto_connect set to false in your ldap.php configuration

  This is necessary so we don't automatically try and bind to your LDAP server when your application boots.

• You have login_fallback set to true in your ldap_auth.php configuration

  This is necessary so we fallback to the standard eloquent auth driver.

• You have password_sync set to true in your ldap_auth.php configuration

  This is necessary so we can login to the account with the last password that was used when an LDAP connection was present.

• You have logged into the synchronized LDAP account previously

  This is necessary so the account actually exists in your local app's database.

If you have this configuration, you will have no issues developing an application without a persistent connection to your LDAP server.
