Secure Configuration (Non-Windows)

This section provides instructions to install and configure the Apache Load Balancer in the secure mode.

Note: You can use a load balancer other than Apache. However, a CA Process Automation Orchestrator requires that some classes of request be directed to a specific node in the clustered Orchestrator. Therefore, simple load balancing is insufficient. See the CA Process Automation Best Practices page, or contact CA support for assistance with alternatives. The Bookshelf includes links to these pages.

Follow these steps:

1. Install a load balancer and prepare configuration templates (Non-Windows).
2. Configure Secure Communication (Non-Windows).
3. Configure the Apache load balancer for Catalyst RESTful API (Non-Windows)

   Note: For an Apache Web server to be able to forward https requests to Catalyst operators, the SSL certificates must be in PEM format. If needed, regenerate SSL certificate files.
