All,

I have courier-imap set up with the authlib using authldap as the auth mechanism. Everything is working well at the moment. I have recently set up LDAP replication so that I have 1 master and 1 slave server. My question is, is there a way (and if so how) do you tell authdaemon that there is a backup server available that it should try if the primary fails. Currently I have the following in my authldaprc file:

##NAME: LOCATION:0
#
# Location of your LDAP server:

LDAP_SERVER     localhost
LDAP_PORT       389


Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks.

According to OpenLDAP's manual pages:

      ldap_open() takes host, the hostname on which the LDAP server is  run-
      ning,  and  port, the port number to which to connect.  If the default
      IANA-assigned port of 389 is desired, LDAP_PORT  should  be  specified
      for  port.   The  host parameter may contain a blank-separated list of
      hosts to try to connect to, and each host may  optionally  by  of  the
      form host:port.

So, you just need to list all the server hostnames, separated by a single space.
