9.5.2 Connecting to a remote security service, such as LDAP

In case you are connecting to a remote LDAP directory server that resides on a cluster, you should also consider your maximum downtime. The default timeout value for WebSphere V6 waiting for a LDAP response is 120 seconds. In case your maximum downtime is greater than that and your application can handle a greater waittime, you can adjust this timeout value.

The other important setting in such a configuration scenario is again the Host name. Both settings are configured on the same panel in the Administrative Console, which can be reached via Security  | Global security  | LDAP. This panel is shown in Figure 9-18.
