<p class="MsoNormal">When pooling AD Domain Controllers and adding “connectionHandler="edu.vt.middleware.ldap.handler.DefaultConnectionHandler{{connectionStrategy=ACTIVE_PASSIVE}}"” (as prescribed at https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/IdPAuthUserPass)
I am seeing the following:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1) User enters bad password<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2) Shibboleth (yes, it is the underlying edu.vt.middleware.ldap.jaas.LdapLoginModule) attempts to authenticate the user at each DC in the pool; having failed to bind as the user, it would appear that edu.vt.middleware.ldap.jaas.LdapLoginModule
is interpreting this as a failure of the server and promptly moving on to the next server in the pool<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3) The user account lockout threshold is reached and the user is locked out<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My question is:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1) Is it possible to have edu.vt.middleware.ldap.jaas.LdapLoginModule understand a bad password as opposed to a server failure and act upon same<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Or<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2) Will a connection strategy of “default” result in an authentication service failure should one of the AD DC in the pool become unavailable?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
