Configure LDAP failover with Sun identity manager 7.0

You can use the native JNDI failover feature, which is based on multiple values in java.naming.provider.url

See http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/tutorial/ldap/misc/url.html#MULTI

The tricky part is to make IDM build such list, this can be achieved by extending the standard LDAPResourceAdapter and overloading LDAPResourceAdapterBase.getContextEnv (see REF kit).

Another way is to rely on the fact that IDM will simply concat the baseContext to the base URL => just add you failover url after the baseContext (use space, not carriage return as separator) :

<baseContext> ldap://<failoverHost>:<failoverPort>/<baseContext>
