Failover support ensures that CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone is not a single point of failure in your federated network. Failover builds redundancy into your network by configuring a primary and secondary CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone system. If the primary CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone system fails, the back-up system can perform the necessary federated communication.
Failover can be configured for CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone acting as the asserting party and the relying party.
Note: If you enabled the CA SiteMinder® Connector, failover support is available for the Connector registration process. Instructions are described in the section Configure the CA SiteMinder® Connector.
The following figure shows a CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone deployment with failover. If the primary system fails, transactions are directed to the secondary system.
As shown in the previous figure, CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone is installed on two machines that use the same database.
