How can I tell the Messaging Server to use another Directory Server if its Directory Server fail

Find the following file:

server-root/userdb/dbswitch.conf

where server-root is the base directory where your SuiteSpot

servers are installed. The contents of the file

probably look something like this:

directory default ldap://foo.mcom.com:389/o%3DAcme,c%3DUS

Replace the single hostname listed in the file with a

space-separated list of multiple host names identifying

your primary and backup Directory Server machines. For example:

directory default ldap://foo.mcom.com bar.mcom.com:389/o%3DAcme,c%3DUS

Note: All listed Directory Servers must all use the same port

number and base DN. All the listed servers

must also have identical content for a failover to work seamlessly.

To configure LDAP failover in NMS 4x:

You can setup LDAP failover (for users and groups only) by adding multiple values (hostnames) seperated by a comma to the <b>local.ugldaphost</b> attribute in configutil. Note that if failover occurs, you'll be pulling from the second LDAP server, but when the original server comes back up, NMS will continue to pull from the backup LDAP server until the messaging server has been restarted.

Since NMS caches the config directory from LDAP when it starts up, it will continue running fine if the config LDAP server goes down or is unreachable.
