Environment

Novell Data Synchronizer Mobility Pack 1.2.3

Situation

Customers would like to be able to configure Data Synchronizer to use multiple LDAP servers for rollover/fail-over in case there is a problem with LDAP.

Resolution

This is currently not available as of version 1.2.3, but is on the road map for future development.  There are two workarounds:
1)  https://www.novell.com/communities/node/8637/ldap-proxy-server-multiple-sources - Point Data Sync to the LDAP proxy and the proxy can be configured for multiple LDAP servers.
2)  Use an L4 switch to load balance or route the LDAP traffic.

Additional Information

An enhancement request has also been submitted to make sure this item stays on development's radar.
