Description

The DataONE project is currently dependent on a single LDAP instance for account management on web sites (e.g. redmine, ask, notebooks, docs) and SSH access to most servers.

The goal of this story is to ensure that account management, particularly authentication is not impacted by a single source failure. There are a few (non-exclusive) options for this:

  1. For key services, enable local accounts that to ensure that a privileged user may login to perform administrative actions.

  2. Move the LDAP service to a HA environment

  3. Augment the existing infrastructure with HA capabilities
