Hello Fabrice, 

To solve our issue, we had to rename our servers and change in the pf.conf the 
hostname variable. Then we could use the %h in the AD configuration on each 
nodes. 
The join is marked successful and we see all 3 nodes in our AD. 

Have a good day ! 
Adrian.

Hello Fabrice, 

Thanks for this quick answer. It's what I tough, each node need to be seen in 
the AD. So, I need to go in " Configuration → Policies And Access Control → 
Domains → Active Directory Domains" and ad an AD entry for each node ? 
For exemple : 
-AD_node1 
-AD_node2 
-AD_node3 ? 

If I add juste one entry on the node 1 with the hostname "PF_node1", then go on 
the node 2, the entry is already configured as the hostname "PF_node1". 
I didn't mentioned, we can't use %h since our hostnames are too long. Maybe 
that's the issue here ? I have to manually set the hostname. 

Thanks for your help, 
Adrian.

Hello Adrian, 
in fact when the doc say to join then it a samba join. 
So each servers needs to be joined to the domain (you should see a machine 
account for each of them in the AD). 

Regards 
Fabrice

Hello team ! 

I have recentrly set up a new instance of PacketFence wich have 3 servers and 
clusturised using the "Clustering Guide". 
It work good and no issues on synching. However I'm confused on how you're 
supposed to configure the AD and the Realms on a cluster setup. 

In the install documentation, it's mentionned : "If you are using an 
Active/Active cluster, each member of the cluster must be joined separately. 
Please follow the instructions in the PacketFence Clustering Guide." 
But on the clustering guide : "Next, make sure to join domains through 
Configuration → Policies And Access Control → Domains → Active Directory 
Domains on each node" 

At first I tough the AD Domains configs weren't synchronised but they are. So 
am I supposed to add a domain for each servers ? (if I only add one, synch, and 
I then join one by one, the previous servers loose the link and the join don't 
work anymore). 

If I have to add 3 domains configuration, one for each server, how do I 
configure the realms since I can only bind one domain ? 

I tested a few configuration but none are suitable. 

What is the best practice and what's the good way to configure the AD + Realms 
on a cluster ? 

Thanks a lot for your answers. 
Greats, 
Adrian.
