LDAP authentication configuration in a distributed environment

Good morning all,

Which one is the right place to configure LDAP authentication in a distributed environment?

Configure it in the deployment server and it will handle it to the rest of the systems?
Configure it in each of the systems?

Regards,

Your LDAP is handled within authentication.conf so it can be distributed easily from a cluster master, deployment server, or search head deployer. In case of changes to LDAP I'd recommend configuring it for deployment rather than on each system individually in order to be able to quickly distribute those changes if the need arises.
