How to set up Multiple AD authentication on Viya

[ROY30426]

Hi SAS experts,

We all know that we can use  LDAP / AD authentication  in Viya . it's really convenient and easy to manage  the permission for our users. 

For us , we have multiple AD in our company. Is there any possible to set up the multiple AD for authentication on Viya?

Many Thanks!

Roy

@ROY30426 ,

That is possible if you are performing a multi-tenant deployment: Set Up Accounts for Multi-tenant Deployments: Separate LDAP Server per Tenant.

Hi @alexal,
Thanks for the reply. So you mean that it's possible to perform the deployment after Viya was installed?

@ROY30426,

That means that you can use multiple LDAP servers only if you have a multi-tenant environment. Multi-tenant environment though should be enabled during the initial deployment.

@alexal,
Got it. Since we have finished the initial deployment and used for several months , Is that possible we use LDAP Proxy instead of re-deployment?

@ROY30426 ,

I would suggest you consult with our technical support. Please open a track here.

What an old post, isn’t it? 🙂
Same question, but for a DRP: how should it be handled? I read that we can specify multiple hosts using a ‘,’ separator in the auth LDAP host field. Is this a good practice?
Thank you.

Viya is only supported using a single LDAP server for identity provisioning (multi-tenancy aside). If you need to use multiple LDAP servers you would need to set up some sort of LDAP proxy so Viya only needs to be provided one LDAP server hostname.
