Solution
It is possible to install multiple LDAP connectors on a single Windows host, provided that instances of the LDAP connector are deployed to individual Virtual Machines (VMs) running on that host.
Review the key requirements in the AD/LDAP Connector Requirements documentation.
When configuring these connectors, consider the following guidelines:
-
Configure an LDAP connection via the Dashboard for each tenant that requires this form of authentication.
-
Generally, multiple LDAP connections configured for a single Development or Staging tenant are not supported. Only a single LDAP connector per tenant is permitted.
-
An exception exists when multiple LDAP directories are present (that is, each customer has their own directory). In this scenario, a unique mapping exists between the LDAP connector and the associated directory.
-
Multiple connectors can point to the same Active Directory or LDAP directory, but a connector can only be used by one connection within one tenant.
