LDAP question

Hi,

can we configure both Active Directory and LDAP for the Authentication services?

Our domain has to DCs, can we configure Active directory that point to one of the DCs and LDAP that points to the second DC?

Or can we configure both Active Directory and LDAP that points to only one of the DCs?

Thanks

Is there a reason why you would do that?
If you have AD, why not only use AD auth?

Hi scorpionking,

Thanks for the reply,

As you know Configuring Authentication services for the AD would work with:

Active Directory (Username + password style)

and the LDAP would work with:

LDAP (UPN + password style)

so it would be nice if we can give both of the possiblety to the end users.

Yes, it is possible...I guess that you need that feature for Exchange services.

Check out this KB document:

Hi Vlic,

Yes you are right we need this for exchange and SharePoint.
so If I understand you correctly I can follow this document and configure the

Active Directory (Username + password style) that points to the DC1 and

configure

LDAP (UPN + password style) that points to the DC2 in the same domain.

Is this Correct?

Thanks
