Can I still login using PowerBroker Directory Integrator if the network is down and my domain controllers are unavailable?
Yes, like a Windows host attached to Active Directory, PowerBroker Directory Integrator will securely cache Active Directory credentials on the UNIX or Linux host. If the network or Active Directory domain controllers are unreachable for any reason, PowerBroker Directory Integrator will allow any user who has previously logged in and whose credentials have not expired to log back into the host. PowerBroker Directory Integrator also provides the root account the ability to unlock a locally cached account should a user lock themselves out during a network outage. Of course, if you would prefer PowerBroker Directory Integrator not to cache credentials, this can easily be configured through Group Policy.
