Configuring multiple LDAP servers for user registry failover
WebSphere® Application Server security
can be configured to attempt failovers between multiple Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) hosts.
Before you begin
The multiple LDAP servers involved in the failover can be
replicas that are replicated from the same master LDAP server, or
they can be any LDAP host with the same schema. That is any LDAP host
that contains data that is imported from the same LDAP data interchange
format (LDIF) file.
Note: When WebSphere Application Server attempts failovers
between multiple Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) hosts,
system properties are exchanged. WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1.0
manages the SSL configuration and these system properties. You cannot
expect to set system properties yourself and expect the failover to
succeed.
