openldap authentication

Hi,

I'm quite new to openldap so you will have to excuse any stupid questions from me.

I want to make my ldap server redundant so that if it fails another one could take over with no or very little down time.

Could someone explain to me how to do this or point me to some documentation.

Cheers

Hi,

These are advanced topics, so if you are new to all this I would suggest getting to know 'basic' openldap first. The option you are asking for can always be added later on.

That siad:

The openldap documentation is a good starting point. The following chapters are relevant for redundancy:

Replication
Sync Replication

Hope this helps.
