Running multiple Rainbow LDAP Connectors (up to 20) on a single Windows machine is available from version 3.8.0
How It Works
- Rainbow LDAP connector is running as a Windows service.
- One Rainbow LDAP connector is dedicated to one Rainbow company.
- It’s possible to run multiple instances of Rainbow LDAP connector on a single Windows machine by adding an instance of the Windows service.
- Each Windows service uses a port in the range [3000:3019] to serve the local web page.
- Each service must be started by a Rainbow administrator of the associated Rainbow company.
Configuration
- From the Rainbow LDAP Connector local page of an existing connector, the administrator must add a new service.
- Once the service is created, it appears in the list of service with “company undefined”.
- Click on the created link RainbowADService_30xx.
- Then follow the standard procedure for Connecting to the Rainbow LDAP Connector with a company administrator account.
Multiple instance Management
- Each service in independent from the others.
- Auto-update will update once for all.
- Administrator can switch from one instance to the other by clicking the service URL.
- Each service appears in the windows service console.
- The default RainbowAdService is not renamed and uses the default port 3001.
