Targeted Login in a Non-SSL Environment with Optional Load-Balancing

You can use web director for a targeted login in a non-SSL environment with optional load-balancing. The login-only web engine services only the login requests. The remaining web engines under web director control, service all other requests. This configuration puts the entire burden of servicing login requests on the specified login-only web engines. The HTTP protocol is used for communications between the web client and the web server.

For the login-only web engines, set the web director parameters in the web engine ‘<Host_Name>-web[#].cfg’ as follows:

• UseDirector AfterLogin
• WebDirectorSlumpName (do not change this value)
• WillingnessValue 0
• RedirectingURL (the preappended protocol value can either be missing or ‘http’)

For the nonlogin web engines, set the web director parameters in the web engine ‘<Host_Name>-web[#].cfg’ as follows:

• UseDirector Before Login
• WebDirectorSlumpName (do not change this value)
• WillingnessValue [1 through 10]
• RedirectingURL (the preappended protocol value can be either missing or ‘http’)
