Access Manager Web Deployment

A common Access Manager deployment has a web browser accessing an application or resource deployed on a web server. The application or resource is protected by Access Manager and communicates with it using a policy agent also installed on the web server. The web server might also have the Access Manager SDK deployed. This scenario does not restrict the number of web servers on a machine or the instances of Access Manager deployed on multiple machines. For example, a machine might have multiple web servers, each deploying an instance of Access Manager. Similarly, multiple web servers might also be running on different machines, each deploying an instance of Access Manager.

The following figure shows an Access Manager web deployment scenario.
