Multiple LDAP Servers
Is it possible to configure and use two or more LDAP servers to authenticate OBIEE users? We have users with logins in two different domains that need to log in to our OBI servers.
Yes, It is.
Just list out all the LDAP servers with domain identifiers.
then In your authentication initialization block add all the LDAP servers. So the BI Server will authenticate against each server until it finds a match. or based on domain identifier it will go to the correspondent LDAP server.

Multiple LDAP servers on single System
hi,
Would like to know if its a good idea to have multiple LDAP servers running on a single System (Hardware) ..
100,000 user base
We would like to run the old and new LDAP databases on the same server till we phase out the old LDAP database after migrating all applications..
System:
2 x V880 4CPU 8GB RAM --multi-master configuration
4 x V420R 4CPU 8GB RAM -- read only replicasShouldnt be an issue - thats not a particularly large user base and thats some heft y HW. Keep in mind though that they will be on different ports so any software you migrate may eventually need tweaking to the default port when the new takes over.

LDAP Authentication Scheme - Multiple LDAP Servers?
How to set up ldap authentication so that multiple ldap servers are available? Scenario: ldap service is replicated through several servers, but does not sit behind a common dns/reverse proxy connection, so applications would list each ldap server and attempt to contact each in order if one or more ldap servers is unreachable.

Multiple LDAP Servers in Fusion Middleware (OBIEE 11g)
Hello,
I have a question, regarding integration of multiple LDAP servers with single Weblogic Server of Fusion Middleware (OBIEE 11g). We are currently using OBIEE 10g. We are on verge of migrating to 11g. However, I have a question regarding the LDAP server.
Our two applications run on two distinct LDAP servers. The plan is to provide a single sign on link for OBIEE 11g reports to the end users and depending on what application they are using, they must be authenticated against the respective LDAP server.
So, my question, is it possible to Integrate two different LDAP servers in the Weblogic of Fusion Middleware (OBIEE 11g). If so, what would be the steps. Any helpful document will also be appreciated.
Thank you,
Chandu.Yes, you can configure multiple authentication providers one by one as you generally do.
When you configure multiple Authentication providers, use the JAAS Control Flag for each provider to control how the Authentication providers are used in the login sequence. You can set the JAAS Control Flag in the WebLogic Administration Console.
REQUIRED—The Authentication provider is always called, and the user must always pass its authentication test. If authentication succeeds or fails, authentication still continues down the list of providers.
REQUISITE—The user is required to pass the authentication test of the Authentication provider. If the user passes the authentication test of this Authentication provider, subsequent providers are executed but can fail (except for Authentication providers with the JAAS Control Flag set to REQUIRED).
SUFFICIENT—The user is not required to pass the authentication test of the Authentication provider. If authentication succeeds, no subsequent Authentication providers are executed. If authentication fails, authentication continues down the list of providers.
OPTIONAL—The user is allowed to pass or fail the authentication test of this Authentication provider. However, if all Authentication providers configured in a security realm have the JAAS Control Flag set to OPTIONAL, the user must pass the authentication test of one of the configured providers.

Multiple LDAP Servers and Attribute-Based Data Partitioning
Hello
We currently want to implement following szenario on Netweaver 2004s. From the
following SAP Help documentation we want attribute based data partitioning:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/4e/4d0d40c04af72ee10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
The difference to the SAP document is that we want a distribution of attributes over
multiple LDAP servers. So we tried to fit that concept into xml. see attached xml source.
The Portal finds both LDAP Systems but it is NOT that the useres are beeing merged
but they appear as two distict users in the portal UME. If you do a lookup in the portal
usernamagent system you get and see two users.
User1: unique ID = USER.Datasource1.uid
User2: unique ID = USER.Datasource2.uid
Obviously the UME system was not able to merge that information of the two distict
LDAP Systems. MSADS and Lotus Notes.
Hence my questions:
1) is it possible to distribute attributes over multiple ldap data sources
2) any ideas why UME constructs two different users based in Datasource ID's specified in XML
Thanks for any contributions or ideas,
Ulrich Scherb

Cisco ACS 5.2 authentication against multiple LDAP servers
Hi Folks,
I have a wireless network that uses ACS 5.2 to handle authentication. The ACS is integrated with an Active Directory LDAP server (my_ldap) and is working correctly at the moment. The authentication flow looks like this:
- User tries to associate to WLAN
- Authentication request is sent to ACS
- Service selection rule chooses an access-policy (wireless_access_policy)
- wireless_access_policy is configured to use my_ldap as identity source.
A sister company is about to move into our offices, and will need access to the same WLAN. Users in the sister company are members of a separate AD domain (sister_company_ldap). I would like to modify the wireless_access_policy so that when it receives an authentication request it will query both my_ldap and sister_company_ldap, and return a passed authentication if either attempt is successful. Is this possible?Assuming you're already authenticating using your AD binding and AD1 as your identity source, you can add a further LDAP server as another identity source and add this to your identity store sequence in your access policy to authenticate against both.
You can also add multiple LDAP servers and add them both to the identity store sequence (if you're not using AD1). -

How to configure sendmail to use multiple LDAP servers ?
Hi everybody!
I have a sendmail running on Solaris 10 and a LDAP server(192.168.1.9) also running Solaris 10 OS. I have configured the sendmail the following way:
bash-3.00# ldapclient list
NS_LDAP_FILE_VERSION= 2.0
NS_LDAP_BINDDN= cn=proxyagent,ou=profile,dc=email,dc=reso,dc=ru
NS_LDAP_BINDPASSWD= {NS1}*********************
NS_LDAP_SERVERS= 192.168.1.9
NS_LDAP_SEARCH_BASEDN= dc=email,dc=domain,dc=ru
NS_LDAP_AUTH= simple
NS_LDAP_SEARCH_REF= FALSE
NS_LDAP_SEARCH_SCOPE= sub
NS_LDAP_SEARCH_TIME= 30
NS_LDAP_CACHETTL= 43200
NS_LDAP_PROFILE= default
NS_LDAP_CREDENTIAL_LEVEL= proxy
NS_LDAP_BIND_TIME= 10
I also have another LDAP server (IP 192.168.1.10). It is configured as a replicant of the 192.168.1.9 LDAP server.
The question is how can i configure sendmail to use both LDAP servers ?
The man pages explain how to configure ldapclient to use ONE server and what if want to use two or more? All the settings and the profiles the same.
Thanks in advance =))Hi!
To add LDAP servers to the Solaris ldapclient, you might use the ldapclient command:
ldapclient manual -v -a defaultServerList="servera.yourdomain.com serverb.yourdomain.com"
But this is only failover, AFAIK the Solaris ldapclient does not perform loadbalancing by itself.
But I am not sure about your sendmail programm. Normally, sendmail has its own configuration
and can be configured to use LDAP e.g. for aliases etc.

we have login problem in same user case. (same user exist in xxxx.yyyy and ssss.yyyy). I haven't gone into details yet like logs and all troubleshooting stuff. Before doing all this just want to know your views whether I can do this or not. If I can achieve any suggentions how to proceed further?

Using Active Directory (LDAP Plugin) Across Multiple AD Servers
Hi,
I need to give an existing application the ability to talk to multiple active directories using the AD LDAP interface from a J2EE Applcation running on Apache 2.x/Tomcat 5.x (there are 4 independent AD trees and users from ANY of the trees can access the application)
Can anyone point me in the right direction with this? I would seem to make sense that I should create a central security servlet that is aware of all the domains and connect to each of the AD servers in turn using LDAP (as often discussed on these forums) to acertain security rights, then turn control back to the application.
Thoughts? Feedback? General help?
thanks
JohnAnother thing that would help is any references to sample code where someone has done this before for..
1. the server.xml file mods required? Web.xml Mods?
2. Java code to accomplish this?
Also, am i overthinking the problem? Could I just use some utility class inside the controller servlet that would have one method that would return access level or something? Then in the utility file I can do the looping through LDAP servers (really AD trees) and when I find the information I want, simply return it. -
Question on installing Multiple Directory Servers
Hello All,
I seem to be having a problem installing multiple directory servers, and I was hoping that somebody could help me. Here is what I am trying to do:
I install DS 2005Q4 on HostA. I have it be the User/Group and Configuration Server. This install goes ok and I can use the administration server and console to manage the servers.
I then go to HostB and install DS 2005Q4 and tell it to use the configuration server on HOSTA. I use the the passwords for Admin and Directory Manager and tell it to store User/Group information. I also install the admistration server.
The problem is when I go to manage this second ldap server throught either administration server it tells me that I have insufficient rights. That is if I click on the configuration tab and try and look at anything.
The second adminsitration server can see and manage the DS on HOSTA fine, but not the DS on HostB. The same thing goes for the administration server on HostA. It can manage the DS on HostA but not the DS on HostB. It keeps saying insufficient rights.
The end goal is to setup these DS in multimaster replication and have the o=netscaperoot replicated to HostB.
I am sure I must be doing something stupid, but I have banged my head on the wall all week and I thought I would see if somebody had any suggestions.
The hardware is a pair of v210's with 4GB of memory and I am running Solaris 10 01/06 fully patched.
Thanks for any help,
Garyjust for completness, when you have installed the consumer, you have manually started the admin server up haven't you??? if not, do so!
also ensure that the host file holds the correct IP and host/host domain name.
ensure you can contact the config server from your consumer etc.
ensure you can connect to the consumer from the config server etc.
if using the GUI from a machine other than the config server, ie pc based. ensure connectivity and host look up is acheivable from the PC.

Multiple LDAP directories for authentication
Hi,
I just upgraded to GroupWise 2014 (from 2012). In GW2012 I used LDAP authentication against eDir. In GW2014, I associated the GW mailboxes to Active Directory. I tested a few accounts and I can login just fine. However I also have mailboxes that have to authenticate to eDir, because (for now) they don't have AD equivalent accounts.
To achieve this, I also added the eDirectory as a directory in the GW admin console. I then enabled LDAP authentication in the Post Office security settings, without adding the "Available LDAP Servers" to the "Selected LDAP Servers" box.
When I logon to a mailbox that is associated to eDir, it allows me to logon. I do have a mailbox that doesn't allow me to logon, although it is associated to eDir. When I re-associate (remove-add) it, it works for a while only to stop working again. It's not entirely stable.
In the POA log, I see the following message: Alert: Utilize LDAP server which is not in the pool configuration! So it would seem it doesn't particularly like my setup.
Questions:
* Is what I'm trying to achieve not supported or am I configuring it wrong?
* If I add the "Available LDAP Servers" to the "Selected LDAP Servers" box will it use it a failover pool and thus mess up my mixed-directory authentication?
* Is it possible to use GroupWise authentication for some mailboxes and AD authentication for others. If so, it would take away the need to use eDir.
IwanIt's not an error, just informational. The LDAP AUTH code for the POA has changed somewhat in 2014. Before, it used to only use LDAP servers in a pool, but now, it will first try any LDAP servers/directories in it's "Preferred list", but if it can't not find the user using that list, it will then proceed to try all other LDAP servers that are configured.

Hi,
I am able to authenticate to AD en edir within the same PO. I would like
to phase out edir as maintaining two directories is not ideal. The only
reason I still use edir is for those few GW accounts that do not have AD
counterparts and for which I do not want to create AD accounts. So using
LDAP(AD) together with GW auth would be ideal for me. I'll look into
creating a second PO for this purpose.
I just wonder why the POA log keeps displaying the following message, if
having multiple directories in a single PO is supported: "Utilize LDAP
server which is not in the pool configuration!"

User Account Authentication across multiple Solaris servers - Best Practice
Hi,
I am new to Solaris admin and would like to know the best practice/setup for authenticating user accounts across multiple solaris servers.
Currently we have 20 - 30 Solaris 8 & 10 servers which each have their own user accounts setup. I am planning to replace these with a similar number of Solaris 10 servers and would like to centralise the user accounts and their authentication.
I would be grateful for any suggestions on the best setup and any links to tutorials.
Thanks
Joolsi would suggest LDAP + kerberos, LDAP for name lookups and krb5 for auth. provides secure auth + extensable directory for users and other apps if needed. plus, it provides a decent spring board to add other unix plats into the mix since this will support any unix/linux/bsd plat. you could integrate this design with a windows AD env if you want as well.
[http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/kerberos_s10.jsp] sol + ldap+ AD
[http://docs.lucidinteractive.ca/index.php/Solaris_LDAP_client_with_OpenLDAP_server] sol + ldap (openldap)
[http://aput.net/~jheiss/krbldap/howto.html] sol + ldap + krb5
now these links are all using some diff means, however they should give you some ideas as to whats out there. sol 10 comes with suns ldap server and you can use the krb5 server which comes with it as well. many many diff ways to do this. many many more links out there as welll. these are just a few. -
LDAP Servers in GROUPWISE hides
i have just installed a new groupwise.
ConsoleOne with Novell LDAP Snapins
Groupwise is configured as normal
But The "LDAP Servers" in Tools -> Groupwise System Operations -> "LDAP Servers" hide
I tried to reinstall ConsoleOne and update groupwise but "LDAP Servers" doesn't show.
Do you have any ideas?
Tks for reading.I install for 1 domain only. :(
not multi-domain.
So weird huh?

Doesn't answer my question ;-)
Do you have multiple domains? If so, in C1 you see the primary domain with a red line underneath the symbol. When you are connected to it, you also see a white plug at the symbol. Is that the case? If the white plug is at a secondary domain, right click the primary and select "connect".
