Installing and Customizing the Distributed Authentication Interface

You can install the remote authentication user interface component on any servlet-compliant web container within the non-secure layer of an Access Manager deployment. The remote component works with Authentication client APIs and authentication utility classes to authenticate web users. The remote component is customizable and uses a JATO presentation framework.

If you are deploying multiple Distributed Authentication servers behind a load balancer, stickiness is not required for the load balancer to talk to only one Distributed Authentication server for authentication process completion.
