Question posted in 
A little bit of context, I’m currently working on a school project, and I have to set up a “Centrex” style Asterisk server, preparing and tunning thing to reach a production ready installation.
So far I’ve found informations about coupling your Asterisk to 1 LDAP/AD, with an LDIF file and some configuration of the Asterisk server.
But is it even feasible to use multiple distinct LDAP/AD ? Or are you supposed to connect to only one LDAP/AD per Asterisk server ?
If possible, how much of an hassle would it be to set up ?
I am running CentOS 7.7 with a fresh install of Asterisk 16.

I would say that typically, LDAP-aware applications only connect to one LDAP tree at a time. This has to do with differences in search locations, schema, etc.
Looking at the Asterisk LDAP integration docs, it looks like it follows the same pattern: it can integrate with one LDAP tree.
If you really want to link multiple ADs / LDAP directory trees, you might be able to use LDAP referrals but that requires quite a lot of knowledge.
Asterisk is opensource soft. Since almost nobody need connect 2 or more AD to server, this feature have no implementation.
There is 2 possible solution for this
1) read and modifiy ldap driver in asterisk. Just copy/paste to make second with other name. Require c/c++ programming experience
2) read openldap documentation and do do changes in it. Like make sub-trees etc. Require openldap/AD administration experience.
Both seams like require advanced experience.
