Adding Additional Instances to the Platform Server
List and Realm/DNS Aliases
When you install multiple instances of Access Manager on different host
servers, the additional instances are not added to the Platform Server list
or the Realm/DNS Aliases list (or the DNS Alias list in Legacy Mode). You
must explicitly add these values for additional Access Manager instances.
If you are using Access Manager in Legacy Mode, see Adding Additional Instances to the Platform Server List and DNS Alias List in Legacy Mode.

List and Realm/DNS Aliases in Realm Mode

Log in to the Access Manager 7.1 Console as amadmin on
the first Access Manager host server.

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

List under Instance Name:
