To distribute LDAP connections among a group of LDAP servers, you can configure your LDAP profile
for load balancing.
When you configure your LDAP profile for load balancing, the Cisco IronPort appliance distributes
connections among the LDAP servers listed. If a connection fails or times out, the Cisco IronPort
appliance determines which LDAP servers are available and reconnects to available servers. The Cisco
IronPort appliance determines the number of simultaneous connections to establish based on the
maximum number of connections you configure.
If one of the listed LDAP servers does not respond, the Cisco IronPort appliance distributes the
connection load among the remaining LDAP servers.
