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.

To Add Additional Instances to the Platform Server List and Realm/DNS Aliases in Realm Mode

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

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

3. Add each additional Access Manager instance to the Platform Server List under Instance Name:

   1. In the Platform Server List under Instance Name Name, click New.

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

      • Server: http://amserver2.example.com:80

      • Instance Name: 02

   3. Click OK to add the instance.

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

4. Add the Realm/DNS alias for each additional Access Manager instance:

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

   2. Under Realm Attributes, add the Access Manager instance to Realm/DNS Aliases and then click Add. For example: amserver2.example.com

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