Description

The LDAP/AD authenticator currently (as of 1.4.2) requires that authentication be pinned to a single server. AD itself uses a DNS SRV mechanism (SRV query for _ldap._tcp.<domain>) to discover servers to authenticate against. It would be beneficial for large AD installations (with multiple servers) for Foreman to use this DNS query method. Perhaps a checkbox in the UI, which would disable the text entry box for the server?
