how to configure apacheDS Ldap with the appian? In general any Ldap with Appian.

1. You need to have the user account in your LDAP system and Appian. Spring Security will authenticate the user against LDAP, but will fail to log the user into Appian as there is no user account. You will probably want to do one of the following:

Create Appian user accounts in a scheduled process based on an LDAP query by utilizing the "LDAP User Profile Sync with Usernames" smart service plugin in the Shared Components.

Create Appian user accounts during the authentication process once it is determined that the user has authenticated, but they do not have an Appian account. You would need to write a custom method and integrate it into your Spring Security setup to do this.

Determining which of those to use really depending on your specific requirements.

2. One way to provide a different userDn and Password would be to set the serverA and serverB entries into two separate authentication providers.
