Specifying One Authenticating Directory Server and One Subtree
This example configures the PTA plug-in to accept all defaults for the optional
variables. This configuration causes the PTA directory server to connect to the
authenticating directory server for all bind requests to the
subtree. The hostname of the authenticating Directory Server is
config-dir.example.com

Specifying Multiple Authenticating Directory Servers

server sends the request to the next server specified (if any). You can specify as
many authenticating directory servers as required.
