Multiple Base-DNs #32

Closed ReneLuecking closed 7 years ago

ReneLuecking commented 7 years ago

Ist it possible to use more than kne Base-DN?

ReneLuecking commented 7 years ago

*one

schakko commented 7 years ago

This is not implemented because it can lead to a lot of LDAP connections during the authentication. If you use multiple UPN suffixes each of the UPN suffix has to be tested against all defined base DNs. In the worst case this means for 3 UPNs and 3 base DNs 9 LDAP connections. Can you explain the requirement for multiple base DNs instead of using an OU based more upper in the hierarchy?

ReneLuecking commented 7 years ago

The company I work for has (for historical reason) 4 different base DNs and every base DN has its own UPN. I have to find out, if i can find all base DNs under the same OU, but i don't think so

You could try to use the Global Catalog as DC. This could work.

ReneLuecking commented 7 years ago

Thank you. I never heard of this before. I'll try it

ReneLuecking commented 7 years ago

I just want to add, that it works using the Global Catalog.
