|
{product-title} provides an authentication
|
|
provider for use with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) setups, but
|
|
it can connect to only a single LDAP server. During {product-title} installation,
|
|
you can configure the System Security
|
|
Services Daemon (SSSD) for LDAP failover to ensure access to your cluster if one
|
|
LDAP server fails.
|
|
|
|
The setup for this configuration is advanced and requires a separate
|
|
authentication server, also called an *remote basic authentication server*, for
|
|
{product-title} to communicate with. You configure this server
|
|
to pass extra attributes, such as email addresses, to {product-title} so it can
|
|
display them in the web console.
|
|
|
|
This topic describes how to complete this set up on a dedicated physical or
|
|
virtual machine (VM), but you can also configure SSSD in containers.
