Hey Guy's,

Cluster VIP for LDAP hosts.

Does SSSD support this now?  Or should it still be a comma seperated list?

Have a Windows AD DC cluster made up of 8 servers.  Would be handy to use
that (ie company-dom.com) instead of the individual hosts that make this up.

I would recommend to use DNS SRV lookups instead. With AD this should
return the same list of DCs as the special company-dom.com. You can
check with

    dig SRV _ldap._tcp.company-dom.com

If you use the SSSD AD provider and either call the domain in sssd.conf
company-dom.com or set ad_domain to company-dom.com and not set any
ad_server SSSD will automatically use the SRV record.

The issue with just using company-dom.com as ad_server is
GSSAPI/Kerberos authentication. Here the specific names of the DCs are
needed to be able to request a proper service ticket.

HTH

bye,
Sumit


In case the AD / DC team removes hosts from a cluster, we would not need to
update anything on our end if we were using just the domain.
