Red Hat DIRECTORY SERVER 8.1 - USING THE ADMIN SERVER Using Instructions page 40

Chapter 2. Admin Server Configuration
There can be multiple user directories in a single deployment because using multiple user directories
enhances overall performance for organizations which are geographically spread out, which have high
usage, or have discrete divisions which benefit from individual directories.
Admin Server can be configured to authenticate users against multiple user directories.
To change the information for the user directory:
1. Open the Admin Server management window.
2. Click the Configuration tab.
3. Click the User DS tab.
4. Set the User Directory Server connection information.
5. Edit the user directory information.
The Use Default User Directory radio button uses the default user directory associated with the
domain. To use multiple Directory Server instances or to use a different instance, select the Set
User Directory radio button and set the required information:
• The LDAP Host and Port field specifies the location of the user directory instance.
It is possible to configure multiple locations for the user directory for authentication and other
directory functions; separate each location with a space. For example:
server.example.com:389 alt.example.com:389
