CA AuthMinder Administration Guide › Managing AuthMinder Server Instances

Managing AuthMinder Server Instances

Important! All the configurations and tasks that are discussed in this chapter can only be performed by Master Administrator.

Each system where AuthMinder Server is installed and is configured to listen to the incoming requests on specified ports is referred to as an instance. The uniqueness of each server instance is defined by its instance name, which is a combination of host name and a unique number.

As a Master Administrator, you can manage each AuthMinder instance either locally or remotely. However, before you can manage a Server instance, you configure the connectivity parameters to connect to the instance. (See "Configuring AuthMinder Connectivity", for information about how the procedure.)

Only after you have configured one instance’s connectivity parameters, can you manage the other AuthMinder Server instances. The tasks for managing an instance include:

• Configuring AuthMinder Connectivity
• Setting Up Server Instances
• Creating Trust Stores
• Configuring Communication Protocols
• Monitoring Instance Statistics
• Registering and Updating Plug-Ins
• Configuring Miscellaneous Settings

Note: Some of these tasks can be performed by using system tools, as discussed in "Tools for System Administrators".
