[JENKINS-73580] LDAP HA setup using multiple servers on configuration fails

[jenkins-infra-bot]

If the first LDAP server is not responsive the login hangs making it impossible to login.
It does not fallback to the remainig LDAP servers (specified on the server input box separated by spaces)

Moreover the Admin pass does not work as a fallback on a Jenkins setup with LDAP authentication password. This makes recovering hard as we need to manually change the config.xml setup file and restart Jenkins.
