Great! Thanks again for all the help.
Hopefully one last query on this thread. This may not be related to Simple AD as such. What I noticed is once I am off VPN and not connected to the AD, I am not able to login and auth.log says it is trying to connect to the DC and timing out etc. Specifically pam_sss says "Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info"
On Windows, we have seen it uses cached credentials when it is disconnected from AD. Anyway to do that here? Please let me know
Thanks,
Vikram
