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

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.
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:
