Set up the Proxy Server or Load Balancer for Failover

You can direct a proxy server or load balancer to failover to CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone.

Note: The administrator of the proxy server or load balancer must know how to set up failover for the system in the deployment.

Follow these steps:

  1. Identify one CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone system as the primary host and the other as the secondary host.

    Do not configure load balancing for the systems.

  2. Configure the proxy server or load balancer for the CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone deployment, making sure to pass the following URLs to the CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone systems:

    These URLs enable the proxy server or load balancer to balance traffic between the CA SiteMinder® Federation Standalone systems.

The proxy server or load balancer is now configured.
