Description

For failover it would be nice to be able to enumerate more than one ldap server name, like most other clients allow.

Ahem... it seems this is already possible. I just tried: 

 "auth.backend.ldap.hostname = "bogus.example.com real.ldap.server.com"

and it worked!

Not sure if this will also handle failover after connecting, but I'll do some testing . We should document this, probably...

OK, it seems to work like this (lighttpd-1.4.10 + cgi-patch):

  • During startup the first working ldap server is chosen.
  • If that server should go down, no failover takes place
  • moreover, even if the ldap server comes back, lighty needs a restart to reconnect. Not sure how this relates to Ticket #294 and the LDAP reconnect patch...

Should I open a new ticket?

  • blocking changed.
  • pending changed.

because it's a standard feature of ldap library, see ldap_init(3).

Replying to bkw:

Ahem... it seems this is already possible. I just tried: {{{ "auth.backend.ldap.hostname = "bogus.example.com real.ldap.server.com" }}} and it worked!
