LDAP authentication question

I’m working on a fresh 3.6 install and would like to try the LDAP
authentication option. However, our corporate structure requires us to
have 2 distinct Active Directory trees. Is there any way to setup
authentication so it will try multiple servers? From my quick glance at
the code, it seems it is not trivial.

Thanks,
Drew

No, there’s no support for this in the current overlay. I don’t know
that it’s horribly difficult to add, though; you’d need to add another
variable for the alternate server, then hack the auth routines to try
primary, then secondary.

Good luck!
