Loadbalancing LDAP Servers
hi
we are using f5 big ip 6400 ver 9.4.4.
we are load balancing 4 websphere servers with applications running on it. The application are authenticated against a LDAP server.
The LDAP server are also loadbalanced on the same BIG IP.
Initially the servers were getting authenticated against the VIP of LB and we could see the change in statistics as users login
But now there is no such stats visible even hundreds of users login.
But when we check the logs on the LDAP server,it shows that there are connections from the websphere servers.
The logs on the ldap server shows that there are connections only from certain servers...maybe frm serv 1 or 3..so on..it keeps changing.
So why it is not reflecting in stats of my VIP.
Is it because it is bypassing the VIP and going directly to the servers ??
The LDAP servers dont have persistence enabled.
So when one of the LDAP servers go down,it takes atleast 10 mins to get the websphere servers to the next ldap server
Any help...why this is happening..
