Prepare for Failover to a Standby CA EEM

Consider setting up two CA EEM instances in a High Availability configuration. If CA EEM is configured in this way, the primary CA EEM acts as the active security authentication and authorization server for CA Process Automation. The secondary CA EEM is the standby security authentication and authorization server. The secondary CA EEM mirrors the primary CA EEM. The two CA EEM instances can point to the same external directory.

CA Process Automation automatically and transparently fails over from the primary CA EEM to the secondary CA EEM if the primary CA EEM fails after CA Process Automation makes the initial connection. Failover occurs even if the primary server is initially down when you configure both CA EEM servers in CA Process Automation.

See the CA EEM documentation for the CA EEM version that is deployed at your site for information about how to set up CA EEM in a High Availability configuration. Additional information is available on the CA Process Automation Implementation Best Practices page (accessible through a Quick Link on the CA Process Automation Home tab).
