What happens if LDAP Auth breaks?

[tecnobabbl]

If I setup LDAP authentication, and then it breaks (password expires, firewall blocks access, etc)... How do I access the Zabbix GUI? Once LDAP is enabled, I can't seem to login with the original Admin user account anymore. Assume latest version of Zabbix.

Yes I have a same concern (using version 2.0.5).
Why don't we let the local account be activated when LDAP authentication is enable?

Yes you can! The type of authentication (ldap or internal) is set on groups. All you have to do is create one group and set it as internal (you'll need to set a password) and if you ldaps fails, use this user you have created.

How do you set the authentication type for a group? The authentication settings appear to be system wide.
