I was reading through the documentation on how to handle failover or
being disconnected from an LDAP server in my apps. One method is to
call ldap_unbind and reconnect and rebind, while the other method is set
the LDAP_OPT_RECONNECT option and only rebind (i.e. don't call
ldap_unbind).
http://www.mozilla.org/directory/csdk-docs/using.htm#handle_failover
We had been using the former of the two methods, but some of our apps
were coring randomly during the ldap_unbind call. I want to switch over
to the latter of the two failover methods, but I wasn't sure of the
consequences. My main concern is we pass in two LDAP servers when we
init the LDAP connection (in ldap_init). During a failover, if I don't
re-init the connection object and just re-issue the rebind command, is
the code smart enough to try both servers still?
I also was curious how well this failover method works when using the
ssl ldap_init functions. Does it work the same way...I only have to
issue my rebind command and not worry about re-initing the connection
object? And again, will it still try both hosts I originally passed in
during the init?
Any info on the subject would be appreciated. Thanks,
Mike
