LDAP Server Failover

edited Nov 5, 2013 6:57AM in PeopleTools and Lifecycle Management - PSFT (MOSC) 1 commentAnswered

I followed the steps noted in LDAP Red paper and E-LDAP: Can LDAP be Setup for Failover or Load Balancing? (Doc ID 611763.1).

I found an issue when testing.

I setup PeopleSoft LDAP as suggested - 1 Authentication Map and 1 User Profile Map for every server 1:1

Adding additional maps reveled issues where user entered incorrect AD user id and password.

AD password controls allow 5 attempts in our env.

What happens is PeopleSoft fails to authenticate on map 1 and tries map 2, 3, 4 and 5. For each map (server) AD ‘badPwdCount’ gets incremented. In this case where 5 maps were setup the account was locked.

It appears Failover can't be implemented.

Howdy, Stranger!
