When setting up a multi-user development environment using load balancing technology, the development configuration must be the same on each of the Developer servers used in the environment. When load balancing the Developer database, an exact replica must be maintained or synchronized across databases. In the setup example below, it is assumed that you are using multiple Developer servers and one Developer database.

Note: When using Windows authentication, each server must be able to get authentication for the Windows users. That is, all servers should be able to get authentication for all Windows accounts rather than each knowing a subset of users. This is most likely to work when the servers are all within the same Windows domain.

To install the Developer servers for a load-balanced multi-user environment: 

1. Install the Developer server to the first server as desired. Make a note of your chosen Application (virtual directory) name, Authentication mode and Database configuration.
    
2. Run the installer for all subsequent Development servers, using the information below for the screens indicated:
    
   Choose Web Site: The application and authentication mode must be the same as the first server noted in step 1.
    
   Database System: Select the database option used in the first server noted in step 1.
    
   SQL Script Options: Click the Yes, the scripts have already been run for this version option.
    
   Internet Information Services Option: Click the Yes, continue with the installation option.
    
   Oracle Database Login or Microsoft SQL Server Login: Enter the database information used in the first server noted in step 1.
    
   Schema Options or Database Options: Choose the Use existing schema or Use existing database option.
    
3. Install and configure the Developer clients as desired, including using the administrator account to give users access to Developer (or create users if Standard authentication is used).
