Currently our EP is using LDAP authentication against a DNS alias which utilizes round-robin resolution to the domain controllers in our environment. We occasionally have an issue where a windows admin, or DNS admin takes a server down for maintenance. It seems that upon startup each j2ee server process will attach to an IP. If the server becomes unavailable the authentication requests will fail dropping entries in the ume logs.
Our intent is to move toward a high-availability setup detailed in:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ep60sp2/helpdata/en/89/ed92be4e414f86ab8ac040010d5396/frameset.htm pointing primary and alternate to independent pools of domain controllers through two additional alias's.
Does anyone know a method of determining which IP address a j2ee server process has attached to? If we could determine the IP's it would greatly simplify our testing efforts.
Thanks in advance,
Michael T. McHugh
