High Availability and Failover
Load balancing and high availability (HA) for LDAP Gateway is implemented through LDAP server configuration and not through LDAP Gateway configuration.
LDAP Gateway connects to each LDAP cluster and LDAP server using a single URL. Load balancing and failover is performed using a network IP alias through this URL. If LDAP Gateway fails to make a connection with the LDAP server, it returns an error message to the Charging Server.
You configure the URL to use in the
ldap.url
property of the ldap-gateway.yaml configuration file, as
follows:ldap:
url: ldap://ldaphost:port
Where ldap:ldaphost:port
defines a network alias that
points to a mirror mode or a forest configuration, depending on the LDAP server type. For information about setting mirror mode configuration or forest configuration for an LDAP server,
see the documentation for that specific LDAP server type.For information about LDAP Gateway configuration in the ldap-gateway.yaml file, see the discussion about LDAP Gateway properties.
