Hi,
At one of my customers, we're using LDAP authentication for the Web User Interface.
My question is: "Can we enter multiple LDAP server hostnames or IP addresses in the ldapAuthenticationUri ? Maybe in the form of a comma-separated-value ?"
The customer has multiple LDAP servers (for failover / redundancy reason).
Regards,

How does your customer expose these multiple servers to other LDAP users; i.e how does (for example) a WAS server reach one or another LDAP server, especially if the LDAP server it was previously using goes down?
Use that same technique for IIB.
I would suspect the customer has these servers behind an F5.

Hi,
1/ LDAP servers behind a network load balancer, virtual IP, etc... could be an option; I'll ask the customer what is possible with their current infrastructure..., but I was looking for the possibilities / capabilities within the IIB product itself
2/ for WAS, you can define additional LDAP servers in the configuration
3/ for IIB, I've talked to someone of IBM, he told me that for the moment you can only define one entry for the ldapAuthenticationUri attribute

Well I've learned something today. Our WAS people will be interested to learn that as well.....

As you'd expect from someone from IBM, that's right.

It's what we do. For IIB, WAS and all of our other LDAP consumers.
