Description

Why?

High availability requires connecting to several servers.

Today James LDAP connection is single point.

To have HA for LDAP component we need to support connecting to several LDAP server.

How?

In usersreporitory.xml configuration set a list of fallback ldap URLs.

Use it to instanciate a LDAPConnectionPool based on a FailoverServerSet. Other connection options (bind DN, SSL, more?) needs to be preserved.

Acceptace criteria

In a test, start ldap1 ldap2.

Configure the ldap users repository with ldap1 as prmary, fallback to ldap2.

Switch off ldap1, ensure that data gets retrieved from LDAP2.
