DEX LDAP configuration

Is it possible to have multiple LDAP hosts configured in the DEX/LDAP configuration section. I am trying to accomplish the config below, but the docs do not show such an example:

dex:
connectors:
- type: ldap
id: ldap
name: LDAP
config:
host: openldap1.my_center.edu:636, openldap2.mycenter.edu:636

Thank you,

SS

I do not think multiple hosts are supported. Typically when multiple hosts are supported by the LDAP library they are separated by a space if I recall correctly. You could try defining multiple LDAP connectors or removing the comma and see if that works.

This is the upstream docs: https://github.com/dexidp/dex/blob/master/Documentation/connectors/ldap.md

I do not know the behavior of multiple connectors, if it would end up giving users a choice between one or the other of if there is a transparent effort on Dex’s part to search one then another.

So something like this:

dex:
  connectors:
  - type: ldap
    id: ldap1
    name: LDAP
    config:
      host: openldap1.my_center.edu:636
  - type: ldap
    id: ldap2
    name: LDAP
    config:
      host: openldap2.mycenter.edu:636

Thank you for the suggestion. Works, but you are presented with a choice before being able to login as to which of the LDAP servers to use.
