Configure a replica LDAP/AD Server

How to configure replica Active Directory or OpenLDAP server in Ezeelogin for high availability?


Overview: This article explains how to configure replica LDAP ( OpenLDAP) / Active Directory (AD) servers in Ezeelogin to ensure automatic failover if the primary LDAP server becomes unavailable, helping you avoid downtime.



Steps to add/edit replica LDAP server URIs:

Step 1: Open the LDAP configuration. Go to Settings -> LDAP -> LDAP Settings

Step 2: In the URI(s) field, add or edit the LDAP server addresses. Enter the replica LDAP server URIs, separated by spaces, after the primary server URI.

Step 3: Click Save to apply the settings.

Add more than one replica LDAP servers by entering the LDAP URIs separated by spaces.

Example:

ldap://ad1.eznoc.com ldap://ad2.eznoc.com ldap://ad3.eznoc.com ldap://ad4.eznoc.com .....


Example:

If the primary LDAP/Active Directory server is ad1.eznoc.com and the replica server is ad2.eznoc.com, configure the LDAP URI as follows (separating the URIs with spaces):

ldap://ad1.eznoc.com ldap://ad2.eznoc.com

For SSL-enabled LDAP (LDAPS), use:

ldaps://ad1.eznoc.com ldaps://ad2.eznoc.com

This ensures that if ad1.eznoc.com becomes unreachable, Ezeelogin will automatically fail over to ad2.eznoc.com.
