SRP and AD integration

I have a bunch of mixed Mikrotik hardware and I’ve recently implemented a Software Restriction Policy guide (whitelist).

Now management wants AD authentication integrated into our network infrastructure. I’ve read the AAA docs but have a couple of questions:

  • If the AD goes down or VPN for remote sites goes down, does that lock out auth on the Mikrotiks? Can I use local accounts as a fallback?


  • Is there a preferred approach to whitelisting the Winbox app?


  • I’m worried the AD going down could lock out the Mikrotik, or VPNs going down could lock out remote sites. What’s the best way to implement this?

Thanks in advance!
