ejabberd - Comments for "Multiple LDAP sources"

It seems to be supported

Looking at the example configuration script, it seems ejabberd supports several LDAP servers for the same Jabber domain:

{auth_method, ldap}.
{ldap_servers, ["localhost", "otherhost"]}.    % List of LDAP servers
{ldap_uidattr, "uid"}.            % LDAP attribute that holds user ID
{ldap_base, "dc=example,dc=com"}. % Search base of LDAP directory
{ldap_rootdn, "dc=example,dc=com"}. % LDAP manager
{ldap_password, "******"}. % Password to LDAP manager

Re: Thanks for the quick reply

Ops, sorry: when I said 'obvious solution', I didn't mean a solution to your problem, since two different virtual host can't serve the same domain.

I don't know any way to serve the same domain with two different LDAP servers at the same time.

Thanks for the quick reply

Thanks Again,

I think you can't.

I think you can't.

You can specify a LDAP source for every virtual host, but only one. So the obvious solution is to have two virtual hosts: server1.example.com with LDAP1 and server2.example.com with LDAP2.
