To Configure Access Manager as a Load-Balanced Server Site

To implement Access Manager session persistence, you define what is called a load-balanced Access Manager site. Once a site is defined and configured, Access Manager automatically sets the value of a cookie, with the default name of amlbcookie, to be equal to the instance ID of the Access Manager instance that first authenticates an Access Manager client request.

The instance ID is defined at the moment the instance is created. For example, the Access Manager instance created on am1.pstest.comwill have an instance ID equal to 01 because this is the first instance created.

1. Start a browser.

2. Go to the Access Manager Console login page.

   http://am1.pstest.com/amconsole

   The Access Manager Console login page opens.

3. Log in to the Access Manager Console by typing the following values and clicking Login.

   Field	Input Value
