      Hi,
      is there a way to specify more than one LDAP server for authentication?
      I have two redundant, but pfSense can take only one and if that is unreachable, users loose ability to login.
      Attaching screenshot for reference.
      Thanks, shpokas

        No, definitely not with SSL enabled.

          If the servers had the same cert and a DNS round-robin or LDAP proxy that did load balancing, perhaps.

          If you're talking about for OpenVPN, just define the second LDAP server and ctrl-click both servers in the OpenVPN settings and it'll try one then the other.

          That isn't a choice for GUI auth at the moment though.

            Yes.

            Yes, indeed. I thought that's not possible. Let me give a try.
            Thanks!
