ESP dSeries R12.3 - multiple LDAP locations

[SHARON SHIMANEK]

Hi 

We will be renaming our LDAP location so in the meantime we are thinking of defining 2 LDAP locations so we can switch users in groups.  

1. Is 2 LDAP's more for HA like if the primary goes down it connects to the other one or are they both active at the same time?  I see there is a priority on the LDAP on topology.
2. What happens the same user is in both LDAP locations?
3. any watchouts
4. also, if an imported user is moved from 1 ldap to another do we need to do anything in the desktop client since they are already imported

thanks

Hi Sharon,

Are you adding two LDAP with different top level domains?

You can add two LDAP locations, but usually they are meant as a backup.  So, if one is unresponsive the other will reply to requests.

Thanks Nitin, looks like I posted this incorrectly as a question vs discussion.  

Security has not answered on the LDAP being same or different top level domains. 

We will have to discuss our approach if they are going to force us to rename our LDAP location.  Hoping we end up leaving as is.
