Hi community,
I have implemented two "OpenLDAP mirror directories":
ldaps://ldap1 and
ldaps://ldap2 (version 2.4.44) and a LDAP proxy
with back_ldap + overlay pcache (version 2.4.44).
I am trying to understand behaviors on the LDAP proxy:
1 - I don't succeed to configure a failover switch between OpenLDAP backends. The proxy switches too quickly due to a
network disconnection (for example, network stays unavailable
during n second).
I would be interested whether there is a way to better control the
switch even after network failure, for example, adding LDAP new
parameters in order to send 3 attempts before performing failover.
2 - After that, when the network is up again and the first directory
"ldap1" is back, new requests with already established connection to ldap1 are directed again to directory "ldap1"
Is it possible to make all the trafic stay on ldap2?
Is there a way to close open connections to ldap1 directory when
the proxy switches to the ldap2 directory?
3. Finally, Is there a way to switch to the second directory when
queries are too slow in the first directory?
Thanks in advance.
