Hey All

I am working on setting up sync replication for ldap. I have it working but I am not sure exactly what I can do with it. How do I failover to it? I may be missing a piece that would help tie it all together. Thanks for any input.

Hi John,

I presume you've setup a Provider/Consumer? What applications are using it?

The consumer will always be syncing, so I'm not sure what you mean by fail over?

From an application point of view, the normal thing is that an app is pointed to

a master and slave or a few slaves and that handles where it searches.

You could have a few slaves setup that "chain" writes back to the Master etc, too.

What do you expect "failover" to be?

Thanks.
