We have configured LDAP AD LDS behind F5 load balancer and the two AD LDS instance constant sync with each other. When we tried to load new users using loadusers ultility we encountered error and new users won't be loaded. However, if we shutdown one of the AD LDS , load new users without any error.I wonder what could be the cause that load new users won't when two LDAP instant is online. Any help appreciated.

Check any and all session affinity, timeout, and load balance settings on your F5.
I believe each Lawson JVM attempts to use the same socket to LDAP, so per instantiation request, it should stay connected to the same server, UNLESS the F5 is trying to load-balance the traffic within the session, which you do NOT want in this case.

Thanks Kwane.

My network guy change Netscaler setting to " a persistance setting. it will bind all traffic from a specific source IP to only 1 server. "

It works now.
