Multiple LDAP Servers tstellin  2015-12-02 13:01

Hi,

I had a question about the "Configure LDAP Authentication" page in Labkey Server. The page gives a text input for "LDAP server URLs" that allows multiple servers to be supplied (delimited by semicolons).

We don't currently have multiple servers LDAP to test the behavior, so I was curious what setting multiple LDAP servers actually does. Does it simply provide a fallback, in case that the primary server goes offline? Or would this allow for us to segregate users across multiple LDAP servers?

Thanks,
-Tobin

Hi Tobin,

This is just for redundancy purposes. If we're able to successfully communicate with one of the servers (even if the authentication attempt failed due to invalid credentials), we won't talk to the others.

Thanks,
Josh
