High-Availability: Network Peers for Connector Servers

In a high-availability deployment, CA IAM Connector Server systems are load balanced. The load balanced CA IAM Connector Server systems need to be configured as network peers so that they can share configuration and requests. For this procedure, you use the management console of each connector server. Do not access the management console through the Apache server.

Follow these steps:

Log in to the CA IAM Connector Server console using the admin/eTrust01 account.

1. Select the Servers tab.
2. Select the Add button to add a new server.
3. When the Add Connector Server dialog appears, select the Network Peer radio button.

   

4. Enter the details.

   The domain can usually be left unchanged.

5. Select Test Connection to make sure a connection can be established between the connector servers
6. Select OK

Each of the other peers must be added. If a connection cannot be established, check that the clocks on the peers are synchronized. Use the following diagram as an example:

• A peer configuration for CS2 and CS3 must be added to CS1
• A peer configuration for CS1 and CS3 must be added to CS2
• A peer configuration for CS1 and CS2 must be added to CS3
• The three connector servers should be configured as a load balanced cluster in the apache HTTP server
