Hi,
I would like to setup LDAP to manage centralized password for a network
of 40 Linux (RHE 3.0) and Unix computers. My main problem is the fail
over in case of a network outage. For security reason, we have multiple
sub networks, so in case the network where the LDAP server is not
available anymore or if the LDAP server is down, what happens to people
that are trying to login.
How to setup LDAP to manage this problem ?
Thanks
Jean

What LDAP server do you use? You can set up more than one LDAP servers
that are associated with each other through replication. One serves as
the master LDAP server and others are slaves. Directory information is
propagate from the master to the slaves on a regular basis which is
configurable. In addition, using round-robin to help with load
balancing and failover. In case one LDAP server is down, other LDAP
servers are still up with identical information.

Just a thought.
