Managing multiple LDAP hosts

Using LDAP and Crystal Enterprise, you can map users from multiple LDAP hosts. Administrators must specify all hosts from which users get mapped in order for these users to be able to be authenticated.

You can add multiple LDAP Hosts in the LDAP page (in the "LDAP Hosts" area) through the Crystal Management Console. Crystal Enterprise servers and clients will bind to the first host in the list. Because of this, the first host must be configured to refer to all of the other hosts in the list. For more information about LDAP hosts and referrals, see your LDAP documentation.

Note:    The order in which the hosts are communicated with matters, so ensure that you add the primary host first, followed by the remaining hosts.
