We use LDAP to authenticate the users to the hmc. We have 2 LDAP Servers with different Directory Entry Location. At the HCM User Management it is possible to define a Backup Host Name, but it is not possible to assing to the Backup Host Name a different Directory Entry Location, and different Port.
Other possibility would be the user can be connected to 2 LDAP server definitions.

I support this idea. The missing possibility to allow the backup LDAP server to have a different Directory Entry Location is an obstacle for us to use LDAP user management on the HMC.
Due to significant investment needed and limited clients impacted, this item is unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into the product plan.
Thank you for the submission. We are taking it into consideration and will get back to you.
