Configuring Multiple AuthMinder Server Instances

To configure Java SDKs with multiple AuthMinder Server instances, you must edit the properties file. By default, the file provides entries to configure 1 AuthMinder Server instance. These entries are appended with 1, indicating that only one server is configured. Depending on the number of instances you want to configure, you must duplicate these entries and append the instance number accordingly.

Perform the following steps to configure AuthMinder Server instance:

  1. Depending on the SDK you are configuring, open the respective properties file available in the following folder:

    Windows:

    <install_location>\Arcot Systems\sdk\client\java\properties
    

    Unix-Based Platforms:

    <install_location>/arcot/sdk/client/java/properties
    
  2. Set the value of the transport.<n> parameter to the required communication mode. By default, it is set to TCP, see "Setting up SSL" if you want to change the communication mode.
  3. Set the value of host.<n> parameter to the host name or the IP address of the AuthMinder Server.
  4. Set the value of port.<n> parameter to the port number on which the Transaction Native protocol is listening. The default port number for Transaction Native protocol is 9742.

Book: Refer to appendix, "Configuration Files and Options" in the CA AuthMinder Installation and Deployment Guide for more information on the webfort.authentication.properties and webfort.issuance.properties files.
