Hi -

The LDAP connector for PHP can only connect to one directory at a time,
and the auth instance is logically associated with one
connection/configuration.  You should be able to work around this by
using either an Active Directory Forest structure which should enable
delegation, or referrals or you might be able to setup replication
between the domains so that one particular AD server can respond for
all.

Cheers,
Piers Harding.

Title:
  Logon failure - LDAP authentication tied to one server

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Mahara 1.4.0
  Linux Centos 5.7
  MySQL
  All browsers

  User logons failing when username and password are correct.

  We added two new Microsoft AD servers to our institution. However, all
  accounts in this institution cannot logon using these servers due to
  the users having the auth_instance declared in their usr entry
  (authinstance). If I update the auth_instance with the new server
  details they can logon. This means if that server fails users will not
  be able to logon even though we have other servers listed which can
  authenticate.
