Technical Note: Deploying Access Manager to an Application Server Cluster

Add Instances to the Platform Server List and Realm/DNS Aliases

To add Access Manager instances to the Platform Server List and Realm/DNS Aliases, use the Access Manager Admin Console on the first host server (host-server1)

  1. Log in to the Access Manager Console as amadmin on the first host server (host-server1).

  2. In the Access Manager Console, click Configuration, System Properties, and then Platform.

  3. Add each additional instance to the Platform Server List:

    1. Under Instance Name, click New.

    2. In New Server Instance, add the Server and Instance Name. For example:

      Server: http://host-server1.example.com:8182

      Instance Name: 02

    3. Click OK to add the instance.

    4. After you have added all instances, click Save.

      Your Platform Server List will like similar to this list:

      http://host-server1.example.com:8182|01
      http://server1.example.com:8182|02 
      http://server2.example.com:8182|03 

      In this example, all instances are on the same server. If instances are on remote servers, specify the remote host server names when you add the servers to the list.

If you have instances on remote servers, update the Realm/DNS Aliases (sunOrganizationAliases) with the remote host names:

  1. In the Access Manager Console on the first host server (host-server1), click Access Control and then the root (top-level) realm under Realm Name.

  2. Under Realm Attributes, add each remote instance to the Realm/DNS Aliases and then click Add. For example:

    host-server2.example.com
  3. After you have added all remote instances, click Save.

    Your Realm/DNS Aliases will like similar to this list:

    host-server1.example.com
    server1.example.com
    server2.example.com
