You can specify multiple directory services for high-availability failover protection. Not every directory service in the list needs to be an LDAP server, for example:
[NT_DIRECTORY]
ldap=libsybdldap.dll ldap://test:389/dc=sybase,dc=com
dce=libddce.dll ditbase=/.:/subsys/sybase/dataservers
ldap=libsybdldap.dll ldap://huey:11389/dc=sybase,dc=com
In this example, if the connection to test:389 fails,
the connection fails over to the DCE driver
with the specified DIT base. If this
also fails, a connection to the LDAP server
on huey:11389 is attempted.
Different vendors employ different DIT-base
formats. For more information, see the Open Client Client-Library/C
Reference Manual.
