CHAPTER 6 Using the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol as a Directory Service

For example:

ldap://huey:11389/dc=sybase,dc=com??one

Note Microsoft Internet Explorer does not recognize LDAP URLs.

Multiple directory services

Any type of LDAP service, whether it is an actual server or a gateway to other

LDAP services, is called an LDAP server.

You can specify multiple directory services for high-availability failover protection. Not every directory service in the list needs to be an LDAP server.

For example:

[DIRECTORY]

ldap=libsydbladp.so ldap://test:389/dc=sybase,dc=com ldap=libsybdldap.so ldap://huey:11389/dc=sybase,dc=com

In this example, if the connection to test:389 fails, the connection fails over to the DCE driver with the specified DIT base. If this also fails, a connection to the LDAP server on huey:11389 is attempted. Different vendors employ different DIT base formats.
