Multiple LDAP Connection Attempts If Incorrect Credentials Entered in EDQ Causing a Lockout (Doc ID 2486989.1)

Last updated on OCTOBER 19, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle Enterprise Data Quality - Version 9.0.4 and later
Oracle Enterprise Data Quality on Marketplace - Version 12.2.1.4.3 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Oracle Enterprise Data Quality (EDQ) can be configured to use multiple Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) servers for a realm - either using an explicit list or via Domain Name Server (DNS) discovery.

When an attempt is made to connect to a server, the integration tries each in turn until success.

This is done even for an authentication attempt resulting in an error during username/password validation at login time.

For example: If there are five LDAP servers and a bad password, there will be five tries which can lead to an Active Directory (AD) account lockout.
