Communicating with More Than One Authentication Server

The LDAP security adapter provided with Siebel Business Applications currently does not support communication with more than one directory server. However, the following options are available:

  • Failover functionality can be implemented to a limited degree for the LDAP security adapter. To implement failover functionality, specify the names of the primary and secondary servers for the Server Name parameter of the LDAP security adapter profile. For example:

    ServerName=ldap1 ldap2

    If communication cannot be established between the Siebel Application Object Manager and the primary LDAP server, then failover to the secondary LDAP server occurs. If the Application Object Manager can communicate with the primary server, but LDAP functionality on the server is not available, then failover to the secondary server does not occur.

  • Oracle provides products that enable LDAP security adapters to communicate with multiple LDAP-compliant directories. For information on Oracle Virtual Directory, go to
