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.
As shown in the previous figure, Federation Manager is installed on two machines that use the same database server.
