Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1 Administration Reference

Failover Or Multimaster Configuration

Access Manager allows automatic failover to any Directory Server defined as a ServerGroup Element Server Element in serverconfig.xml. More than one server can be configured for failover purposes or multimasters. If the first configured server goes down, the second configured server will takeover. Failover Or Multimaster Configuration illustrates serverconfig.xml with automatic failover configuration.
