Allow LDAP server to reference domain name

[basildane]

LDAP login is working great, but only if I specify a specific LDAP server.
Example: ldap://myserver.mydomain.com

This will fail if myserver is unavailable for some reason.
A better way is to use ldap://mydomain.com

Active directory will give you a list of LDAP servers and you get full redundancy. I have not been able to get this to work with Authorizer.

Do you know if this is a feature specific to Active Directory, and can you link to any docs?

We're trying to maintain compatibility between LDAP offerings (openldap, AD, etc.), so that would be the main consideration.

I read the RFC and don't specifically see this. But that's how we do it at work (50,000 users). Here's another idea, is there a way for me to specify at least one additional server? Just having one is a problem. It's going to be a problem for everyone, I expect.

That sounds good, I've seen that elsewhere and it should work across all LDAP servers. We will get that integrated into the next version and keep you updated here. Thanks!

Version 2.9.9 has been released with the feature. You can now add multiple LDAP hosts to the LDAP Host settings field (one per line). Thanks!
