Good Afternoon, There are a couple of reasons to implement LDAP on a cluster. 1. I have a cluster with GFS partitions available. 2. Want to avoid the cost putting up 2 more machines for master - master LDAP operation. 3. Want to avoid the timeout the client experiences when the primary is unavailable. My thought is to have the LADP data stored on a GFS partition while the LDAP server process and IP address are managed as a service. In this configuration the process can move between nodes with no impact to the clients.

Most of the ldap clients (nss_ldap, SSSD) can talk to multiple LDAP server & can failover when primary is down. > > Thanks in advance > > Tom > > > -- > Linux-cluster mailing list > Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster -- Regards Arpit Tolani -- Linux-cluster mailing list Linux-cluster@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-cluster
