Sun Java System Access Manager 7 2005Q4 Deployment Planning Guide

Session Failover Deployment Scenario

The following figure shows a basic scenario with two host servers, each running an Access Manager instance on a web container, the Message Queue broker cluster, and the Berkeley DB client (amsessiondb). The load balancer distributes client requests to the Access Manager instances. Both Access Manager instances access the same Directory Server (not shown in the figure).

Access Manager basic session failover deployment scenario

You can add additional sites similar to the one shown in the figure, with each site accessing the same Directory Server. Session failover, however, occurs only for the Access Manager instances within a site; cross-site session failover is not supported in the current release.
