IBM: High Availability Authentication with LDAP
Non-stop authentication with Linux clusters

"As an organization adds applications and services, centralizing
authentication and password services can increase security and decrease
administrative and developer headaches. However, consolidating any
service onto a single server creates reliability concerns.
High-availability is especially critical for enterprise authentication
services, because in many cases the entire enterprise will come to a
stop when authentication stops working. This paper describes how we
create a reliable, highly available authentication server using open
source software."
