[cisco-voip] LDAP Authentication when CUCM publisher is down.

My suspicion is it has to do with controlling the number of queries being issued and from where or perhaps and more specifically,  tracking the failover itself.  

Once the failover occurred, the identity of the cucm-side ldap sync would change and AD servers might not handle that gracefully. I don't see why not but in a trusted-cert/LDAPS scenario it might have issues?

Still seems like there could be a stateful token or something that could be passed around to whatever the active ldap sync node happens to be.

Thanks,

Ryan

So If we lose the CUCM Publisher for whatever reason it would seem that the Authentication also fails due to the single point of failure of DirSync. Should LDAP authentication still work if the CUCM Publisher is still down.
