I think the failover can be configured when using external authentication setup through IPA or sssd in general. There's --foreman-ipa-authentication=true that does most of the setup work. See https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_satellite/6.2/html/server_administration_guide/sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-Server_Administration_Guide-Configuring_External_Authentication-Using_Identity_Management#sect-Red_Hat_Satellite-Server_Administration_Guide-Configuring_External_Authentication-Integrate_IdM_with_Satellite for more details.
