LDAP registry location - can we have two of them ?
We are using version 6.0.2 of the CLM applications. And Tomcat is version 7.0.59.
At the moment the "Server / Advance Properties" has
LDAP Registry Location = ldap://DC1:3268
I would like to add a second LDAP Registry location in case our DC1 is ever unavailable.
Is this as simple as editing the location to be
LDAP Registry Location = ldap://DC1:3268, ldap:DC2:3268
Thanks Peter

Not directly in RTC. Even if it were available, a better solution is an HA type LDAP, where users it a virtual IP rather than the actual IP. I would imagine you have other products that need LDAP access, and as such are just as vulnerable to an outage. In such a situation, you should refactor your LDAP architecture to account for high availability:
Update:
I added the second Domain Controller using the Jazz Team Server's "Configuration / Advanced Properties" page.
So I now have :
LDAP Registry Location = ldap://DC1:3268, ldap:DC2:3268
This new setting was saved successfully but it didn't seem to do anything useful.
i.e. when I shutdown DC1 I was hoping the rtc users would still be able to log on (using DC2 as the LDAP registry location).
But they couldn't.
