{product-title} provides an authentication provider for use with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) setups, but it can connect to only a single LDAP server. During {product-title} installation, you can configure the System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) for LDAP failover to ensure access to your cluster if one LDAP server fails.
The setup for this configuration is advanced and requires a separate authentication server, also called an remote basic authentication server, for {product-title} to communicate with. You configure this server to pass extra attributes, such as email addresses, to {product-title} so it can display them in the web console.
This topic describes how to complete this set up on a dedicated physical or virtual machine (VM), but you can also configure SSSD in containers.
