LDAP - Locking account

Hi There,

We have a problem with LDAP authentication on two of our servers. We use the same settings in both Directory Assistance databases and it works ok but…

At some point everyday, its locking the account it uses to search the LDAP Directory. We then have to unlock the account in order for people to login to the web applications.

has anyone else had this problem?..if so, how did you solve it?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Subject: Found the problem!

If anyone else has this problem, here’s what causes it:

We had LDAP setup on 2 servers. Both servers were using the same credentials to query the LDAP directory, so when the account was being used at the same time (as people logged onto both servers), it locked the account.

We created 2 service accounts, 1 for dev and 1 for live. Neither accounts have been locked since…touch wood!

Hope this helps
