Router DSA for the Provisioning Server

The Provisioning Server communicates through a CA Directory router DSA, and not directly to the Provisioning Directory. The router DSA, imps-router, is installed with the Provisioning Server installer. This DSA accepts requests from the Provisioning Server and routes them to the appropriate Provisioning Directory DSA (impd-co, impd-main, impd-inc, or impd-notify) depending on the prefix.

In a high-availability installation, the imps-router DSA has connection information for Provisioning Directory DSA on at least one alternate Provisioning Directory system. If a primary Provisioning Directory DSA becomes unavailable, the router DSA attempts to use an alternate DSA.

The imps-router DSA has been assigned ports 20391, 20391, 20393 (for address, SNMP, and console respectively).

Note: In previous releases of this software, the etrustadmin DSA used port 20391. Any connections to 20391 on the Provisioning Directory system fail unless the Provisioning Directory and Provisioning Server are on the same system. Therefore, reroute these connections to port 20391 on the Provisioning Server system.

For CA Directory DSAs running on one system to communicate with DSAs on another system, they must have connection information for each other. So during Provisioning Directory installation, you identify each Provisioning Server that can connect to it.
