first server in the list, and it attempts to connect to each subsequent server in the order they are listed. 
To ensure that the appliance connects to your primary LDAP server by default, ensure that you enter it 
as the first server in your list of LDAP servers. 

If the appliance connects to a second or subsequent LDAP server, it remains connected to that server 
until it reaches a timeout period. After it reaches the timeout, it attempts to reconnect to the first server 
in the list. 

To configure the appliance for LDAP failover, complete the following steps in the GUI:

From System Administration > LDAP, select the LDAP server profile you want to edit.

From the LDAP server profile, configure the following settings:

Configure other LDAP settings and commit the changes.

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 appliance distributes connections among 
the LDAP servers listed. If a connection fails or times out, the appliance determines which LDAP servers 
are available and reconnects to available servers. The 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 appliance distributes the connection load among 
the remaining LDAP servers.
