Failover support ensures that Federation Manager is not a single point of failure in your federated network. Failover builds redundancy into your network by configuring a primary and secondary Federation Manager system. If the primary Federation Manager system fails, the back-up system can perform the necessary federated communication.
Failover can be configured for Federation Manager acting as the asserting party and the relying party.
Note: If you enabled the SiteMinder Connector, failover support is available for the Connector registration process. Instructions are described in the section Configure the SiteMinder Connector.
The following figure shows a Federation Manager deployment with failover. If the primary system fails, transactions are directed to the secondary system.
As shown in the previous figure, Federation Manager is installed on two machines that use the same database.
