WebLogic Server LDAP Authenticator Provider Not Failing Over at Runtime (Doc ID 1541576.1)

Symptoms

There are options for multiple LDAP servers and if the primary from the list is not available, we can choose the following behavior settings:

• connection timeout
• parallel connection delay
• connection retry limit
• result time limit

However the option for "result time limit" is inefficient. It's supposed to work if the primary LDAP host is accepting connections, but is responding very slowly.

After the period of time set in "result time limit," if LDAP is still not responding , WLS should failover to the second LDAP host. Even setting "parallel connection delay" is not helping with this case.
