Set up Failover at the Proxy Server or Load Balancer

This guide assumes that the administrator of the proxy server or load balancer knows how to set up failover for their system.

At the proxy server/load balancer machine

1. For the proxy server configuration, identify one Federation Manager system as the primary host and the other as the secondary host.

   Do not configure load balancing for the machines.

2. Configure the server to pass the following URLs s to the Federation Manager machines:
   • /affwebservices/*
   • /siteminderagent/*

Other traffic can be routed through Federation Manager, depending on the deployment mode (standalone or proxy).

The proxy server or load balancer should now be able to failover to Federation Manager.
