AD auth + F5

Hello, I have a question regarding MS AD bind with F5. I setup the integration with out MS AD and is working fine. The question I have is ...Is there a way to specify more than one AD server (Host IP) to provide redundancy? If the server that I am pointing to goes down for any reason then users will not be able to authenticate correct?

  • I don't believe there is currently a way to specify more than one server for this. What you can do is point it at a load balanced virtual IP.

     

  • You're referring to setting up auth for external users to log into the BIG IP, right? We haven't done this ourselves, but have you tried setting up a VIP that you could use to forward the traffic to a pool of AD servers, and set the host to that VIP's IP?
