Adding second node of LDAP AD

[borisstankov]

Hello guys,

Would you please let me know what will be the best way to configure my second node of my LDAP AD cluster?

As far as I know there are two options:
 
  1. I add additional second ldap authentication system here: authentication.chain=alfinst:alfrescoNtlm,ldap1:ldap-ad,ldap2:ldap-ad

or

  2. I add directly here the secondary noode: ldap.authentication.java.naming.provider.url=ldaps://node1:636, ldaps://node2:636

I think that the second option will not work and I need to configure the first one. I never test such configuration with two nodes in one alfresco installation and honestly, I do not have the time at the moment to do so.

Please advice.

Regards,
Boris Stankov

Yes your suspicions are correct.  Option 2 won't work.   The trick will be to put the second properties file in the correct place on the shared class path.

ОК, thanks for the reply. I'll keep that in mind when I do my tests next month.
