LDAP cfg for reliability MII 12

[Former Member]

We have a Version 12 MII environment that is configured for authentication from Windows AD (LDAP). This morning the Windows domain server that LDAP was configured to use was rebooted for patches. This caused windows accounts to not be authenticated on the MII server for the duration of the ldap server reboot.

Is there a way to configure MII to use multiple LDAP Domain servers for authentication?

In the LDAP config screen in the UME the field is Server Name and Server Port.

Is it possible to use domain name only or multiple servers in the servername field.

This creates a reliability issue if a single windows domain server outage can interrupt MII server usage and processing.

How are others using LDAP and not being interrupted with a LDAP server outage?

Hi Robert,

I am not much of an LDAP expert, but you can specify multiple LDAPs in the data source configuration file. The documentation includes an [example|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/4e/4d0d40c04af72ee10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm].

I'll try and find out if that covers different domains.

Michael, Thanks for the response. The link you provided to help documentation was helpful because there was a Note and link on that page for Link: [Configuring High Availability of the LDAP data source|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/4e/4d0d40c04af72ee10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm]. This is what I was asking for.

Basically the answer to my question is I can enter a Comma-separated list of LDAP directory servers and Ports in the UME config screen for LDAP.
