Hi
We have a 2-node clustered Windchill as well as a 2-node replicated LDAP service in a lab environment. Below is a brief on services configured.
Windchill service in Srv01 and Srv02 are clustered and sitting behind a F5 load balancer, working fine. LDAP service in Srv01 and Srv02 are replicated and replication works fine.
We see there are 2 ways to configure LDAP in this environment as following;
Question is, which method is recommended, given the fact that an environment has got all above mentioned devices in place.

Very well, the reply I got from PTC is that they never tried it. All what they tested is configuring multiple LDAP endpoints in Windchill application, which is fine with us.
But since an LB like F5 BIGIP, which very well supports LDAP traffic to be load balanced, I believe it can be used as well. This method got advantage over traditional one like less configuration hassle in application as well as using multiple LDAP endpoints in active-active setup. I did try it in a test environment.
