Best Practices

Consider the following when configuring data centers:

• Collocating the following components in each data center helps to reduce the effect network latency and resiliency has on SiteMinder performance:
  • Web Agents
  • Policy Servers
  • User stores

    Note: If a SiteMinder feature, such as Password Services, requires a write–enabled store, we recommend having a write–enabled store in each data center.

• If all components cannot be in the same data center, we recommend at least collocating Policy Servers and user stores in the same data center.
