How does the Tridion CME select a particular AD-LDAP from a domain containing many AD-LDAPs?

  • The implementation has AD. The SDL Tridion CMS console console does not have AD-LDAP integration (no synchronization or anything else). Just an ordinary vanilla setting.
  • This means that users are created in AD, then manually added to the CMS and rights / access are set in the CME.
  • When we add a user, we simply provide the domain name in the GUI, and the CMS sends and selects all users. Now we do not provide any configuration or links to any AD-LDAP server anywhere for the above configuration.
  • If the domain "My_Domain" has 20 AD servers, then how does Tridion know which AD to choose for this new user (part of "My_Domain") to add? OR if an existing user logs in, how does Tridion know which AD server should search for (if there are 20 AD-LDAP servers that a specific domain can have)?

Well, we can forget LDAP since you did not configure it. Tridion will use standard Windows authentication through NTLM / Kerberos.

The answer is that Tridion does not know or care about which server to use. This task is delegated by IIS, which, in turn, will use any server pointed to by Windows.
