We have offshore consultants who do not have an id in our active directory, but need to access RTC.

 You simply need to add both the local file-based registry and ldap registry to the server configuration.


If you are using Liberty see the instructions in Federation of User Registries

Yes it does support such configuration. You add a built-in file-based registry and an LDAP registry to the federated realm. I know some users use such configuration to hold the administrator info in the file-based registry to avoid being locked out from the LDAP. Note that with a federated realm, you need to map users/groups from each registry to the security role.
