The LDAP configuration information for a multi-server (master-slave) setup is as follows:
eDirectory, OpenLDAP, and Active Directory directory servers are supported.
The LDAP Search Context option must be set to an appropriate value for both master and slave in order to optimize LDAP sync time on both servers. The Master LDAP search context specified must either be a superset of all the slave search contexts or a combined list of all slave search contexts as shown in the examples given below:
Master context o=org, Slave1 context ou=ku,o=org, Slave2 context ou=dl,o=org
Master context ou=ku,o=org##ou=dl,o=org, Slave1 context ou=ku,o=org, Slave2 context ou=dl,o=org
Ensure that each iFolder server has its own eDirectory replicas so that the authentication happens locally instead of walking the eDirectory tree.
iFolder supports both secure and non-secure communication with the directory server. You can choose any communication channel that you need. Ensure that the directory server is listening on standard LDAP ports for secure and non-secure channels.
